Nursing moms who need extra help feeding their children and preparing breast milk for the future, the Haakaa Breast Pump is an affordable option that women claim is one of the best for the price on the market. The soft and flexible silicone material sticks to a woman’s body easily and hangs on tight with gentle but still strong suction. Women claim they can feed their baby on one side while pumping on the other completely hands-free with no issues. The pump collects and measures breast milk for parents to keep track of future baby meals.

While most reviews say the Haakaa product is a must-have for new mothers, others say there are some issues with the suction. Depending on a woman’s sensitivity, the suction may feel too harsh or too light, sometimes unlatching and spilling the breast milk if not held while pumping. Others say the liquid measurement on the breast milk cup is inaccurate and may overestimate the number of ounces truly pumped.

In general, the pump comes highly recommended as a quality product for new mothers who need to prepare baby meals ahead of time to freeze or store for later.

Whether you are a new mom, an experienced mom, or a mom-to-be, breastfeeding can prove to be an incredibly valuable tool to feed a child throughout their first critical weeks of life while on the go. However, not all breastfeeding machines are as versatile and custom fit to the individual quite like the Evenflo Feeding Hospital Strength Advanced Double Electric Breast Pump. With the ability to pump with two suction tubes at a time, it is easier than ever for a mother to pump milk in half the time it would normally take. Reviewers rave that this breast pump is unlike any other, with dozens of settings to cater the pumping experience to the individual, like changing the pumping speed or changing the strength of the suction. This makes not only a more pleasurable experience but also is a one-stop shop for mothers whose needs may change over time and with more children in the future. The product also features a unique design to prevent milk back up, so parents can rest assured that their newborn will not be exposed to bacterial infections.

Some customers say that the suction strength loses strength over time, and it even may become difficult to pump after a few dozen uses. Others say it is inconvenient to have two pumps going on at the same time all while trying to hold a child.

Every expecting mother would benefit from having this Evenflo product to make life on the go much more convenient.
