We had the pleasure of chatting with Julia, one of the first users to give us her opinion on the portable breast pump Emy Pump. Her breastfeeding journey was strewn with pitfalls from the start but this young mother, a 31-year-old lawyer, was able to find solutions and explains to us how she now uses Emy Pump every day for her breast pump.
A complicated implementation of breastfeeding
Julia faced many challenges to start breastfeeding from the birth of her first child.
A tongue tie in your baby
“My baby was born with tongue tie“, she explains. “Initially, he was able to latch on, but only with the help of a silicone nipple. » The day after the birth, an operation was carried out to cut the tongue tie.
However, the medical team failed to mention one crucial element: “The hospital did not inform us that a rehabilitation with an osteopath was necessary after this procedure,” she recalls with regret. “We naively thought everything was settled. »
The first two weeks seemed promising. “It felt like everything was okay. Our baby seemed breastfeed correctly and gained weight,” she says.
But the situation quickly changed: “During a check-weighing, we found that his weight had stagnated for an entire week. Furthermore, the latching on had become difficult and painful In my opinion. »
Tongue tie and breastfeeding
Worried, the young mother consulted a lactation consultant. “She explained to us that the tongue tie had not been properly rehabilitated after the procedure,” she says. Following this diagnosis, they then began a rehabilitation process.
The beginnings were encouraging: “At the start of rehabilitation, our baby was able to move again. latch correctly. ". However, in the meantime, the couple began to introduce bottles, which complicated the situation. “My baby got tired very quickly at the breast and got very upset,” she explains.
Faced with these growing difficulties and the exhaustion of their baby, the couple then made an important decision: “We opted for exclusive breast pump when our baby was a month old,” she concludes.
This solution allowed them to continue feeding their child with breast milk while avoiding difficulties linked to latching.
I am looking for a practical and discreet breast pump
My opinion on the Emy Pump nomadic breast pump
THE need to invest in a portable breast pump became obvious to Julia when she planned to attend Taylor Swift's concert in Lyon on June 2.
Invest in a portable breast pump
“I had to organize myself to maintain breastfeeding while enjoying this event“, she explains.
“For my pumps at home, I used the breast pump prescribed by the maternity ward, the Seinbiose Moon Pro, but it is quite a bulky model and not at all discreet.” It was then, through her research, that Julia discovered the Emy Pump portable breast pump.
“I had seen different models of portable breast pumps on Instagram,” she recalls. Emy Pump caught my attention for several reasons: its attractive price, the fact that it is a French company, and above all its practicality for use on the go. And his decision turned out to be a wise one.
Emy Pump: an unexpected ally
“I was able to use the breast pump during the concert,” she says enthusiastically. She then details her meticulous organization : “To store the milk, I had a cooler in the car. During the concert, I used a freezer bag placed in a cup to protect it. I was then able to put it in the fridge of the hotel where I was spending the night. »
And the result even exceeded his expectations: “Over 24 hours, I managed to express 800 ml of milk. The most impressive thing is that I didn’t have to throw anything away! ". This experience confirmed for her the effectiveness and practicality of Emy Pump, by allowing her to reconcile her role as a breastfeeding mother with her personal activities, even in situations as unconventional as going to a concert. A great example which shows that everything is possible, whether we are a breastfeeding mother, or not !
Her breastfeeding pump routine with Emy Pump
Julia says today with enthusiasm: “ It saved my breastfeeding. Without that, I wouldn't have been able to organize myself. The breast pump is restrictive, even when taking care of the baby. Have your hands free it’s much more practical. Luckily I bought it, otherwise I wouldn't be breastfeeding now! »
This is how Julia organizes herself: she always a bottle of milk ready in your fridge. She pumps just before giving her baby a bottle: “My baby drinks about 120 ml of milk per bottle and I keep the excess of the draw (around fifty milliliters) in the refrigerator, if necessary. I then keep the milk for one to two days before freezing it. »
Efficient draws thanks to hospital power
Since the concert, Emy Pump has become the daily ally of Julia’s breast pump. " I do 6 draws per day of 30 minutes on my 2 breasts. I have one breast a little less productive than the other but I collect on average more than a hundred milliliters per breast per pumping.
Thanks to her routine, Julia is able to collect more than a liter of milk per day thanks to her 2 nomadic breastfeeding companions!
Julia also notices a significant increase in milk volume which it manages to extract with Emy Pump, in comparison to the results obtained with its previous wired model. “With Emy Pump, I went up to intensity 5 but not beyond. On the other hand, on the Seinbiose which also has 9 levels, I already had to go up to settings 6/7 to have the same quantity of milk as with Emy.
A significant time saving
The Emy Pump hands-free breast pump has another undeniable advantage: it saves considerable time. “With the electric breast pump Breastbiosis, I had to do one breast at a time because it was difficult to have to hold the tips in place while drawing and it took me one hour per draw. »
For her draws with Emy Pump, Julia managed to reduce her draw time to 30 minutes per session for her 2 breasts at the same time and therefore saves 3 hours of time per day !
And Julia’s milky adventure is clearly not ready to stop: “Today, I have about 4 liters of milk in stock in the freezer for my baby! ". What to consider a return to work more peacefully after the maternity leave of this young lawyer mother.
Freedom of movement and long battery life
Great autonomy by Emy Pump is a major asset for this active (and forward-thinking) mother. She explains: “I have already managed to last all day without recharging. But I would say that in general, I do 3 draws of 30 minutes and then I start reloading. I don’t wait for the stage where the “low battery” light comes on so I can be sure I always have enough battery.”
Our interviewee today has completely abandoned its old wired breast pump in favor of Emy Pump. She notes: “I don’t use it at all anymore. I exclusively use my 2 Emy Pump nomadic breast pumps on a daily basis. And if you want my opinion, it really changes life to no longer be constantly plugged in and holding your bottles while expressing milk! ".
I want to express my milk hands-free
Easy and discreet use
Julia is also delighted with the handling of Emy Pump which she describes as simple and intuitive. “To have a good output, you have to assemble all the pieces correctly but it’s quite quick. I find Emy Pump really practical and easy to use. The modes are intuitive, we have different intensity levels to adjust the power, we can see the draw time... in short, only useful and essential features! ".
The monitoring screen is also quickly accessible : “Without having to handle the breast pump too much, it is possible to see directly where you are, it’s super practical. And it’s really great that the breast pump stops automatically after 30 minutes of use because as I'm doing something else at the same time, it's so discreet that I don't necessarily notice the time passing! ".
Emy Pump, the best portable breast pump!
The Emy Pump nomadic breast pump has therefore proven to be an essential tool in the breast pump course of this young mother. It allowed her to continue breastfeeding, while now his activities and an active life.
His testimony highlights efficiency and practicality of the portable breast pump and his opinion is clear: “It’s really super light, discreet and quite compact, I highly recommend it to other moms who need or want to embark on a breastfeeding pump journey! »
