MedelaManual breast pump with Flex Shields Harmony Single Hand for More Comfort and Expressing More Milk

I absolutely love the Medela Harmony manual pump! It’s quiet, easy to use, and perfect for quick pump sessions on the go. The Flex Shields make it super comfortable, and I get great output in less time than with my electric pump. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and fits right in my bag. A must-have for any breastfeeding mom!

Alright, fellow milk-makers, let me tell you, I've got a whole parade of fancy, expensive, hospital-grade electric pumps sitting in my cabinet, collecting dust like they're competing for the "most neglected appliance" award. Why? Because I fell head over heels for the humble, mighty, and utterly fantastic **Medela manual breast pump**. This thing isn't just good; it's my *only* pump, and honestly, it's been a total game-changer.Seriously, who knew a little hand-powered contraption could outperform the big guns? This pump is ridiculously **easy to use** – no confusing settings, no tangled cords, just pure, unadulterated milk extraction magic. It's so intuitive, you could probably use it in your sleep (and let's be real, you probably will during those early morning feeds).But the real unsung hero? How gloriously **easy it is to clean!** No complex nooks and crannies for milk to hide in, just a few simple parts that rinse clean in a flash. My expensive electric pumps practically require an engineering degree and a full archaeological dig to properly sanitize, while this Medela manual is ready for action again in minutes.And for all my fellow mamas with unique needs, here's another bonus: **most universal flange inserts work great with it!** This was a huge win for comfort and efficiency, allowing me to customize my pumping experience without being tethered to proprietary parts.So, if you're drowning in expensive pumping gear and feeling overwhelmed, do yourself a favor and snag a Medela manual pump. It's affordable, efficient, and will probably become your favorite secret weapon against engorgement and low supply. It's truly the little pump that could!

This product SAVED me! I was in so much pain from my electric pump. This allows me to control the suction and speed way better than my old pump and it’s more effective also! It’s discrete and easy to use at work and NO MORE NIPPLE PAIN! How can a product be cheaper, easier to use, and more effective all at the same time?? I don’t know, honestly, this thing might be magic lol!

WOW! I don't think I've ever written a review on Amazon, but this pump is worth it. As a brand new mom, my baby went in for his 1 week check up, and our pediatrician told us she wanted us to start using formula in addition to breast feeding to boost his weight gain. She said I could pump, but that was a lot of work.Of course I wanted my baby to have my breast milk vs. formula, so I began using my far more expensive, electric pump. It was disheartening to see how little I was producing, and after 30 minutes of the electric pump, I wasn't completely empty, but was also only producing little droplets.My fiancé said he saw somewhere that manual pumps have been getting great reviews lately, so I decided to order this one on a whim. I was so beyond impressed the first time I used it, I was laughing with joy. You can literally see your milk jet-streaming (idk how else to describe it) out of your boobs, and this pump completely emptied me in under 10-15 minutes. I got 2 ounces the first try, compared to the 0.5 ounce I usually get with the electric pump.Another pro is that you can take this pump anywhere. It's small, easy to assemble, has only a few parts to put together vs. a machine/battery pack, and is so much quicker. I couldn't imagine being out and having to be attached to a machine for 30+ minutes. The convenience alone makes this product such a win.If you're an under-producer, or you're thinking about giving up on your breast feeding/pumping journey because your baby isn't getting enough - try this pump first!

I've tried the electric breastpump from this brand, but it never seemed to empty my breasts completely. I needed a fast solution that would be more effective and that's how I came across the Medela Harmony manual breast pump.It has two different modes, unlike other manual pumps, which I really like. That allows me to get five ounces in about 10-15 mins.I had to take away a star though, because after running it through the bottle sterilizer the diaphragm wouldn't fit correctly anymore, which resulted in a squeaky noise and ineffective suction.

I am so thankful this product is available. I find that when I use the hand pump I get more hindmilk than the fore milk. Easy on the go cook it with me on vacation and when I went somewhere far that I did not want to carry my heavy spectra with me it is so convenient lightweight easy to wash such an amazing product.

I started to have clogged ducts that eventually and surely will become mastitis. I was also so pissed off at my momcozy S12 as it was leaking at bottom on milk collector cover while I was pumping only 1-2ml out!!! Seriously when you are trying to save every drop of that liquid gold, and the pump fails you, you'll understand the feeling of "crying over spilled milk." I went on reddit to read comments and someone suggested to try medela hand pump. Totally hands down for this awesome product. It fixes my clogged ducts and pulls quadruple amount of milk I thought I was able to pump, aka from 25ml to 100ml both boobs (I had c section, on 4th day of pumping journey). Pump and massage your boobs to max out guys! Highly recommended! Even more convenient when there are only 5 hard durable plastic parts to assemble instead of 10 soft flimsy parts that wear out in 3 uses.I'll buy the medela plug-in pump later when I produce more as I have all parts from my hospital to take home. Just gotta plug into the pump.
