Today, we’re inviting you to discover Hélène’s review, a doctor and mum of 4, of the Emy Pump breast pump. This hands-free device made life easier and made it easier to return to work, while allowing her to keep breastfeeding with complete peace of mind.
Breastfeeding and going back to work
Breastfeeding while working full time: a daily challenge faced by many mums, like Hélène, a general practitioner and mum of 4 children.
When she goes back to work while her fourth baby is still being breastfed, she looks for a solution that is both effective, simple and compatible with her busy days.
That’s when she discovers the portable Emy Pump breast pump, an accessible, powerful and discreet alternative to the wired models she had used before.
Her testimony shows how this tool can make organisation easier and offer more freedom to active mums.
Finally, a breast pump you forget you’re wearing!
Before Emy Pump, Hélène used wired rental breast pumps. But very quickly, the lack of practicality became obvious: “Much bulkier and less discreet, with much less mobility.”
She therefore decided to switch to a breast pump that was lighter, hands-free and just as effective.
Already a user of the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, the idea of a French, affordable breast pump that you can try with no commitment and that offers comparable power to wired models won her over.
Her verdict is clear: “With the Emy Pump breast pump, I express exactly the same amounts as with the rental one, so the choice was easy!”
Hélène says she is very satisfied and can’t imagine going back: she has completely stopped using her wired electric breast pump.
6 minutes flat: an express milk break
Hélène shares her routine with Emy Pump. She expresses her milk twice a day with double pumping, during her four workdays.
Her sessions last around six minutes, and she gets up to 150 ml by breast.
An effectiveness that means she doesn’t have to race against time: “I also use it at home from time to time, when my son refuses to feed because of teething or a noisy environment”.
At last, a tool designed for mums who don’t have a minute to spare!
This regular rhythm is invaluable for maintaining a good milk supply despite going back to work.
Thanks to the Emy Pump breast pump, Hélène was able to easily establish a regular breastfeeding routine, without wasting time or mental load.
A breast pump that adapts to every woman, not the other way around
Varied stimulation modes
Thanks to the 3 modes and 9 intensity levels available with the Emy Pump breast pump, Hélène found the combination that suits her best.
She starts with stimulation mode to trigger the let-down reflex, then switches to expression mode as soon as the milk starts flowing, at intensity level 5.
This operation is inspired by the baby’s natural sucking rhythm: frequent, gentle stimulation at the start, then deeper expression.
And if flow drops, switching back quickly to massage mode can help restart milk production. Everything is designed to respect breastfeeding physiology, without over-stimulation or pain.
Breast shields for every breast
A point often overlooked: breast shield size. Too big or too small, it can compromise comfort... and above all, the breast pump’s effectiveness.
The wireless Emy Pump device comes with 6 different sizes, to fit each body shape as closely as possible. Hélène uses the same size as on her previous breast pumps.
But every body is unique, which is why we recommend that you always (re)measure your nipple and refer to the size guide.
Always choose a breast pump model that lets you test several sizes to find the most suitable one.
Because yes! Breast shield size can vary from one breast to the other, throughout the breastfeeding period as well as from one breast pump to another.
Not all breast shields have the same shape or the same material. This is therefore an extremely important point to take into account.
Don’t hesitate to ask a healthcare professional trained in breastfeeding for advice to help you choose your breast pump.
No app, no stress, and hands-free!
One of Hélène’s great pleasures with Emy Pump ? Freedom of movement. No wires, no cables, no control unit to carry around, and of course, no need to isolate yourself to express milk.
She slips her breast pump into her bra and can carry on with her activities without being stuck on the sofa.
And as a bonus: “I chose the Emy Pump model because there’s no app connection,” a detail that can make all the difference in an already busy daily life.
This minimalism is exactly what makes it so intuitive to use, even for an overwhelmed mum with 4 children to manage! “Emy Pump really offers more flexibility in everyday life for breastfeeding mums,” Hélène concludes.
In short, a device designed to really make mums’ lives easier! Thanks again to Hélène for sharing her review of the Emy Pump breast pump.
