NUK Luna Electric Breast Pump (1 pack)

Product Information

But if you want to get as much milk as you possibly can, you will be grateful for the better suction. Pump Settings Absolutely! When we got home from the hospital, I try to pump after 2 or 3 of his day time feedings to continue to help stimulate my boobs. I only pumped for 10 minutes or so because I didn’t want to overdo it. This seemed to work really well for me. Whenever my supply feels lower than usual, I try to pump for 10-15 minutes right after a feeding. I actually did this yesterday where I pumped after feeding Ezra for is 7am, 10am and 1pm feedings. I don’t expect to get much milk after but it helps stimulate my supply to come in.

I pumped primarily to add to my freezer stash, which can feel really overwhelming, especially when you’re first getting started. I simplified it by committing to pumping once a day–either in between the morning breastfeeding sessions or first thing in the morning while I nursed my baby on the other side. This wearable breast pump is harder on the wallet than a regular portable electric pump. In addition to the high price, you must keep buying the Willow Breast Milk Bags, which are single-use, or invest in the Willow Reusable Breast Milk Containers, which you can wash and reuse. Both the bags and the containers can only hold up to four ounces of breast milk. ‎‎For moms who routinely pump more than that, they'll need to stop, switch out the bag or empty the container, and restart. There’s a reason that 90 percent of moms prefer the Luna over their current pump, and it’s not just about the milk output–although that is a huge perk. The Luna doesn’t sacrifice the other necessities either. Very Powerful- even on hospital-grade pumps, it is rare to find a breast pump with as much suction power as the S1 has. Breast milk is the best and most natural food for babies. If you cannot or do not want to breastfeed, expressing your breast milk is a useful alternative, so that your baby does not have to miss out on this precious foodstuff. If you cannot or do not want to breastfeed, expressing your breast milk is a useful alternative, so that your baby does not have to miss out on this precious foodstuff. The NUK Luna Breast Pump is small, light and easy to handle – tailor-made for the needs of modern mothers.What’s more is that the battery power lasts and lasts! Seriously you guys, compared to other wireless pumps (like the Willow), this pump needs charging way less often. Plus, the Luna is a closed-system pump. What does that mean, exactly? It means there is a barrier that prevents your milk from getting inside the tubing when you pump, making it more hygienic for your baby, as the milk goes straight from your breast to the bottle. You also won’t need to spend time cleaning and drying any tubing, and you’re less likely to need to replace it since no milk can get inside it.

I’m not a huge drinker but I do love my martinis and tequila. I haven’t really had much of a social life since Ezra was born (ha!) but I plan on using testing strips to test my milk when I drink alcohol. I think this is the safest way to know. Plus using my gut. If I feel like I drank a little much, will resort to the pump and dump method.So this isn’t a huge deal, but if there was one thing I could change about this pump, it’s that I wish it had a carrying handle on the actual pump to make it a little easier to move around with. Other pumps on the market, for example The Spectra, has this. Powerful – this pump offers a very powerful suction, which is great for women who want to get every last drop out The Motif Luna breast pump is battery-powered and rechargeable, so you’re not chained to an outlet while you’re pumping. Again, if you’re new to pumping, you might be wondering why you’d want to move around while you pump anyway. There are actually a lot of reasons. Whether you just want to get up and make yourself a cup of coffee while you pump, or you have any road trips in your future plans, a pump that’s battery-powered and thus, portable, is a game-changer. I have pumped on a number of road trips (as the passenger, of course), and have never regretted having a portable pump. Much of the Terra Luna Classic pump is coming from the heavily awaited 1.2% tax burn which will remove 1.2% of the supply per transaction. That means you may have to throw out one batch of breast milk, but as long as you thoroughly clean or replace the offending part, subsequent batches should be fine.

Supply and demand and FOOD AND WATER! It is as simple as that. The more your bubba demands, the more you will supply for them. My hunger with breastfeeding has been insane. I’m eating more than double what I was eating before and during pregnancy (seriously) and I am eating a wide variety of foods. This includes quality gluten, dairy, nuts, grass-fed meats and anything very nutrient dense. I keep bites like these (code RACHL for 15% off) on hand in the fridge and they also have helped my supply along with their lactation powder. At first I was really confused and didn’t expect to be so hungry but listening to my body and eating and drinking enough really has helped with my supply. Of course trying to stay stress-free helps too but we all know that is easier said than done.

What should you look for in a breast pump?

Large – this pump is massive, and if you wish to take it somewhere, you may find it annoying how heavy it is as well. You will probably need a whole separate bag to carry this pump in

The suction power of the S1 is up to 270 mmHg, whilst the suction power of the Motif Luna is up to 280 mmHg. The S1 is significantly larger in both the weight and size categories. This pump weighs 2.7 pounds and is 7.9 inches x 7.9 inches, and 6.7 inches ( L x W x H) in size. Suction Power In semi-automatic mode, there is an indicator light that tells you how long you should wait before triggering another pumping cycle. Finally in automatic mode, the machine does everything for you! However, the Luna is so quiet and unobtrusive (at least in terms of noise) that you can do all those things you want to do, and you won’t even have to turn the volume up to “death metal concert” level to do it.

Hands-Free Pumping Bras

I love that I don’t have to mess with a tangle of cords and wires, and it even makes pumping at my desk so streamline and easy. When looking for a breast pump, you'll want to consider where you plan to pump, how often you plan to pump and which pumps your health insurance will cover. I pump anywhere from 4-6 ounces total right now. It depends on the time of day and how much time has passed between a feeding. If I go 4-5 hours (again how long I go is based off of Ezra’s feeding schedule), I notice I get anywhere from 4-6 ounces total. Usually my left produces more than my right as you can see if the photo above. When I don’t nurse him during the day and pump instead, it is around 4-5 ounces. He also gets a bottle of 4-4.5 ounces, which is great because my supply matches what he is drinking when I don’t nurse him. Sometimes it is less when I pump too but I try not to get too caught up in that. Stress doesn’t do the milk supply any good! Suction: Electric pumps can offer a variety of suction modes and strengths to help with letdown and increase milk expression. The more suction options you have, the more you can tailor your pump to work with your body. Additionally, the clarity of the information provided on the display makes it straightforward to repeat the cycle and keep the same settings from the previous pumping session.
