My first little girl refused to breastfeed. She just flat out screamed blue murder. Not wanting her to miss out on the benefits of breast milk I chose to express. I used a standard electric double pump and often struggled at night when I had to hold the pump horns in place. I’d be so tired that I’d nod off and be jolted awake with the sound of the pump sucking air as I’d moved my hand and it had lost the suction. It also meant that while I was pumping I couldn’t do anything else. Second time around though I had a pre-schooler. Trying to express discretely and being able to have my hands free seemed impossible until I saw the Freemie system. Buying the Freemie was one of the best investments that I made for me and baby. This time around expressing didn’t have to mean wasted time. Instead I could email, text, phone, help the pre-schooler, entertain the baby and so much more. When it comes to expressing, Freemie is the way to go!

Freemie is the way to go

With my first child I used a hands free Avent pump and found it to be hard work. I am now using the

Freemie hands free Electric Pump with my second baby and I absolutely love it. It’s super

comfortable, quiet and easy to use. I love the fact it is truly hands free. I used to find pumping an

annoying use of my free time but with the Freemie system I can work at the computer etc while it does the

work for you. I highly recommend this breast pump to all breast feeding mothers.

Traditional Pumps Hard Work

I recently found myself with damaged nipples and had to pump exclusively… I had a Medela swing which I sat there for seriously an hour each time she fed to get out 100ml. It was draining me, in all aspects except milk really, especially middle of night feeds. She was guzzling this down and wanting more so I was quickly using up my freezer stash. Also taking myself out of the picture from my children for that long was impossible. I started looking for a solution and thought about a double pump, then decided to try the Freemie Electric Breast Pump because of it being hands free.

It is simply fantastic. I’m sitting here with my two children on my lap while I’m breast pumping and writing this. The tubing is all tucked under my clothes so little hands can’t grab. I was also able to feed my baby from one side while expressing milk from the other without disturbing her. I don’t feel like expressing is a chore anymore that takes me away from them.

It’s also amazing because I have gone from taking 1hr for 100ml (if I was lucky, usually around 80) to 20 min for 150ml. I recently read a study that simultaneous pumping of both breasts increases prolactin and therefore increases milk supply, which I’ve definitely noticed. I have been on domperidone for my supply but am now weaning off them while maintaining my milk, which I had tried before using the freemie and failed.

I’m able to feed again now after a week of pumping but having the Freemie for a daily express to build up my freezer stash and my milk supply is so much easier. I wish I’d known about it for my first daughter too. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking for an electric breast pump even if just for occasional pumping, why wouldn’t you make it easier for yourself.

A week after our daughter was born I was still experiencing severe pain while breastfeeding. I got to the point, on a Friday afternoon that I just couldn’t face feeding my baby for the fear of pain and my nipples had got really badly damaged.

We were suddenly desperate to find a breast pump. After some online research and a recommendation from a lactation consultant we decided on the electric Freemie pump. Not being able to wait until the following week for it to be shipped, we got in touch directly and they were so helpful and understanding. They let us come and collect it in person that afternoon. The pump allowed us to continue feeding our baby breast milk and once I’d healed we were able to feed directly from the breast again and 6 months on, we still are.

As for the pump itself, it is really convenient. Being hands free is great – just last night I was pumping, while feeding our daughter (solids) and cooking dinner! It’s comfortable, easy to use, relatively discreet, has a quiet pumping unit and most importantly, is effective at expressing.

I couldn’t fault the pump or the customer service we received. Highly recommend the Freemie Electric Breast Pump and very grateful we purchased from you guys.
