  • @drewh7327
    @drewh7327 3 года назад +1

    Does this pump have the same movement as the medela instyle (when it pumps it is one movement) or more like the spectra which i feel like shakes/vibrates when it is pumping? Thank you!!

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  3 года назад

      I’d say this pump is between them! It’s not quite as basic as the pump in style but not on the vibration level of Spectra. Hopefully that makes sense!

  • @asianseyesRpretty2
    @asianseyesRpretty2 3 года назад

    When i use spectra, i dont wash my backflow protector after every use because the way it was set up it is not necessary but looking at this set up it looks like the back flow protector is built into the flange so i guess we have to wash all parts after each use? If it is so do you find it hard to wash and dry the parts? The flange and backflow protector of spectra were very "open" and simple to wash and quick to dry so i am wondering.

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  3 года назад

      I'd definitely give the backflow protectors on the Spectra a wash regularly since they do get condensation inside and that could lead to mold growth. I have to wash bottles and pump parts every day regardless so it wasn't a big deal to me and they aren't hard to clean with only having three pieces!

    How would you compare this to the Lansinoh pump? I responded well at first but now I need a pump with more speed and stronger suction

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  3 года назад

      If you’re saying that was your experience with the Lansinoh pump I wouldn’t go for this one. I’d look at the Motif Luna!

    Great video! How long does it take to fully charge the pump? Could I go a full day or two without ever recharging?

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  3 года назад +1

      It’s been awhile but I want to say it took around 2-4 hours to charge depending on how much of one it had left. It’ll depend on how much you’ll use it each day!

    if I Paid full price for the pump what do they send when you need a replacement? I actually bought a non working freestyle flex at target and called medela for replacement and they are sending it but I'm wandering what will come in the replacement box? will I be getting everything like when I paid for it and will it come with the cooler?

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  3 года назад

      Typically when replacing a pump it’ll only come with the motor, charging cable, and possibly tubing. I’m sure it varies from situation to situation tho!

  • @kapiltriv
    @kapiltriv 2 года назад

    Hi great video, are you supposed to clean the tubes before first use and there after?

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  2 года назад +3

      Thanks! And nope, just leave the pump on for about 10 minutes after you’re done to get out any condensation that would occur. The only time you would need to wash them is if milk got in the tubes or if you find mold. But if there’s mold, I prefer to just buy a new set!

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  3 года назад +2

      Nope, probably not! You really don’t need to change those things unless they’re damaged or no long working properly. Just be gentle with them! Try not to use your finger nails to remove them, wash them gently, stuff like that!

    • @MommaAlia
      @MommaAlia  3 года назад

      Only if there hasn’t been any buttons pushed within 30 minutes! Adjusting levels or pausing the session would keep it from auto shutting off

      I showed it in this video! It has to do with taking one side of the tubing and putting it in the hole of the plastic piece that “y”s the tubing. That probably confusing but I know I mention it in the video and show it!
