Keep it clean: Clean and sanitised kit is essential for the health of your baby and the preservation of breastmilk. 'Thoroughly cleaning and sterilising the pumps and bottles is your priority,' says Bland. 'Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before you use it for the first time. And don’t forget to wash your hands.'
Hygiene features: Look for pumps with closed systems that prevent milk from entering the tubing, ensuring hygiene and ease of cleaning. The good news is that all the pumps on our list have closed systems except for the Haakaa which is a manual wearable pump. Hello, I am a mum of two and had my second child in October 2022 and I have been asked to review the new Fraupow Wearable Breast pump for Parenting Expert. There are 10 years between my children, and so much has changed since my firstborn – I am not sure that wearable breast pumps even existed when I had my first child. I was therefore excited to give this a try. My partner has been very supportive throughout pregnancy and birth, trying and testing things that could help our family life – what works best for us isn’t always best for others and we both like trailing new gadgets, especially where our new baby is concerned! The pump can be recharged using a USB and once fully charged it has up to two hours pump time, which is convenient when you want to take the pump out with you, as you know you're guaranteed to have at least two to three pumping sessions when on the go. Usability The hands and wire free design makes the Fraupow Wearable Breast Pump so easy to use and use on the go, and the fact that it's lightweight too means it doesn't feel heavy under your bra, even when it's full of milk. It can hold up to 180ml of breastmilk too, so you don't have to keep emptying it and carrying on every 50mls.To draw up our carefully selected recommendations list, we scored each breast pump out of 45 based on eight main categories: I had to exclusively pump for one of mine and I had a Medela Freestyle for that and a very fetching bra thing for hands free! It was great and I lasted till dc was just about to turn a year.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user , TheDogAndTrumpet) Advances in parenting tech have been transformative for many parents. ‘Hands-free pumping means you can see to your baby without being tethered to the couch for hours on end,’ adds Bland. ‘So you can leave the house, work, walk, shop or meet friends. It frees you up to continue expressing that incredible breast milk which is providing your baby with all the nutrients they need in their first six months of life without anyone else even knowing.' What are the benefits of using a breast pump?
For my first pregnancy quite a few years ago, I had a Medela Pump with wires. This time I have a Fraupow hands-free pump and it’s much better! It’s just nice not feeling pinned to one spot all the time. (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user , CurlsLDN ) Spectra has an impressive line of breast pumps, but this rechargeable, hands-free version is portable and flexible to use. Good Housekeeping's Chief Technologist & Executive Technical Director Rachel Rothman found this pump to be particularly helpful during weaning since it isn't quite as intense as Spectra's S1 (which we rated as one of our favorite overall breast pumps) or S2. Although it's not as powerful, we appreciated that its pieces are interchangeable with other Spectra pumps so if you're an S1 loyalist, you'll be able to use and adapt to this hands-free one quite easily. While the Elvie feels more discreet than the Fraupow, they both have a very similar pumping efficiency, but the Fraupow is a fraction of the price of the Elvie. The flange, also known as the breast shield (the bit that’s attached to the funnel), goes over your nipple
How easy it is to clean: If you plan to use your breast pump everyday, closed system breast pumps are generally easier to clean than open system pumps. Also think about whether you'll be using a steriliser and dishwasher for cleaning. Are the breast pump parts dishwasher-safe?
