Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with PersonalFit Flex Breast Shield

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think a manual breast pump is something every woman should have during her breastfeeding journey. Even if you already have an electric breast pump, a manual one can be very handy in many situations. I like the Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump because it’s easy to use, simple to clean, doesn’t have too many parts, and is fast to put together. The handle on the manual pump is very comfortable and easy to push, so my hand doesn’t get tired while pumping. It’s also lightweight, which makes it even easier to use. This pump also doesn’t make a lot of noise during use. The pump comes with a medium-sized oval flange (24 mm), which works well for me, but you can also buy other sizes (21 mm, 27 mm, or 30 mm) to get the perfect fit. I always make sure all parts are dry before I start, and the suction is strong but still gentle and comfortable. It doesn’t hurt or cause discomfort while pumping. It mimics a baby’s rhythm—quick at the beginning and then slower—which is perfect for breastfeeding moms. The pump can also be used in the stimulation phase, it has a fast pumping rhythm to stimulate the milk ejection reflex and start milk flowing. The packaging also includes four 7 oz breast milk storage bags, which is a nice opportunity to try them. All the parts are high quality, and the plastic parts feel sturdy. It’s dishwasher safe and easy to assemble. I also like the design—it’s very nice, and the soft yellow color is pretty. I use this pump more than I expected. Not only at home, but I also carry it in my diaper bag when I’m out for the day. I’ve even used it in the car while my husband is driving. I’m sure it will work really well for traveling too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I have been trying hard not to let my milk dry up. I was surprised with how much I was able to get with this manual pump. I was nervous to try a manual because I was afraid I would use it wrong and not get anything, but this pump changed my mind completely. It was easy to clean all the parts and came apart easy for storage.
