This breast pump is absolutely amazing

published

I can not recommend this product enough. I have used it for both of my babies and it is a life saver. I have save so much time using this breast pump. It is one of the beat on the market as the suction is high so the express time is less. Highly recommended.

Great pump!

published

Great pump! My husband bought this for me when our baby was just a couple days old because I was having lots of trouble feeding. It has great suction and cups that doesn't hurt. it's a bit pricey but well worth the money. Also comes with a handy carry bag.

Not for me

published

i got this because it was given to me. i felt that the suction wasnt very strong and i didnt get a lot of milk from using this pump. also there were too many parts to wash and put back together. replacement parts were expensive too. ive tried other brands that are less expensive and works better.

Very useful and high grade!

published

This is a gift from my parents and it is surely something I’ve been using since I gave birth. Especially now that my milk is established and I easily get engorged if I don’t feed. This has been very useful and easy to use. Rechargeable and long lasting. Easy to bring and travel with. You can bring this when you travel or do road trips. You’ll get good results even if you just do a few minutes.

Just make sure you get the right flange for better pumping, the one that comes with this is for 24mm.

Suction

published

I purchased at Baby Kingdom (it costs more than $400). I use it 5-6 times a day. It works perfectly well for the first 3 months - Super convenient, very quite and easy to clean! However, after I replaced the pump parts (bought from Chemist warehouse), the suction became weak and it got worse everyday. I've checked all the tubing, connectors and the battery - all looking good but still not working properly. I have used it for 5 months - I can now hand express more milk than the pump. Very disappointed!

It doesnt work for me ( small boob)

published

I know a lots of friends that uses it and love it but it just doesnt work for me ! Would it be because of my chest size ? I use a asian brand breast pump which cost only 50 aud and it works amazingly well ! This one just cost too much!

Ugh.

published

Use 7-10 times a day. Have had pump for just over 5 months now.
Have had to replace too many parts.
Too expensive, still paying for parts that stop working.
Loses suction.
Battery no longer holds a charge. only works while plugged in (sucks for travelling).
Would not spend this much money on this pump again.

Good reliable product, rechargeable battery is great

published

We bought this for our new born who us exclusively on breast milk. The pump handles a lot of use, is efficient and really convenient with the rechargeable battery. Comes with a cool bag, 4 bottles, cooler bag with freezer brick and a free calma teat which was great to try (we then went out and purchased 4 more calma teats straight away, switching from avent bottles to medela).

Fantastic!

published

Great product, super easy to use, so compact, being able
to walk around and do things while pumping is so convenient, parts do have to be cleaned each use, so if you use it frequently I would recommend getting an extra set of the suction attachments to have on hand.
Different suction strengthens and a timer on the screen is so helpful, I highly recommend this.

Used it so much, it's so worth it!

published

It is comfortable to use. I expressed only, therefore I'm on it every 3 hrs 8 times a day. Super easy to use and the battery can last for very long, I generally charge it every 2 days (you can charge and pump at the same time). It is more expensive than the swing, bigger and heavier and has the digital display to show you the pump time. I only pump at home so didn't have the need to bring it out with me. If you are someone who needs to pump outside it might add a bit of weight to your nappy bag. Only issue for me was one of the plastic part broke after 3 months and the replacement is not cheap. I haven't use other pumps before so I don't have a comparison but I am really happy with this pump.

Great pump

published

Used this pump due to our little ones birth defect. It saw us threw 8 months of expressing, major surgery’s and feeding. Handy and able to use anywhere, however cleaning it was tedious and we had to replace several parts numerous times. Great suction, was able to quickly make enough to feed Bub, something we found didn’t happen with other brands. Highly recommended

Efficient but fiddly to use

published

It's comfortable but fiddly to assemble and wash. The milk goes into the tubing and needs to be washed periodically. Quite often need to reassemble as it has no auction. Frustrating especially as you leak all over everything while reassembling. For an expensive product that's disappointing. On the plus side, can empty both breasts within 10-15 min of pumping and it has a reachargable battery and is light to carry. . But the assembly and washing up takes time. I would try Spectra S1.

Versatile!

published

This pump can be taken from room to room so you have the freedom to pump whenever you like especially when you have guests over visiting to see the baby. The battery life is also very good and lasts for around 5 hours of pump time. The only criticism is that the pump parts are fidly to fix.

Great product

published

Super comfortable to use. I guess it depends on each person but you can be pumping for a while to get what you need but it works really well.
A little bit annoying to clean but easy to maintain. I would for sure use this pump again with twins a double pump is a must but I do think it is helpful for any mum as it makes it faster doing both at once.

just get it save ur life

published

i have done some research on it, is both electronic and since not too many brands to choose from in australia, this is so far the best one, but buy the box which includes the bottles and everything to save your time to buy it late. one thing that is a con which is the bottle cap is not included which is frustrated.

A Godsend!!

published

The last thing a stressed out, tired, hormonal mum needs is to have to pump breastmilk but the reality is many of us do. So if you have to, then this pump makes it so easy. There's a reason why these are used in the hospital. They are so gentle yet so efficient. I recommend this for any new mum and it helped me through a very tough time. Worth every cent.

My mum bought this for me as i was having trouble breastfeeding and i have only tried the hospitals medela pump and i found that this one is quite similar. Easy to use, comfortable. I managed to get 2 full bottles in 10 minutes. I stopped expressing and went on formula but ill definitely be using this pump again when i have another bub!

Questions & Answers

Chrisasked

Can this be used as one pump at a time or does both have to be used together?

Yes, I think so. Use plastic wrap between shield and breastshield connector. Then you can transfer Freestyle to a single pump

Mandy Y
Mandy Y

Yes, it can be used either one pump or two pumps.

Medela
Medela A.Medela

Hi Chris, yes the Freestyle can easily be converted from a double to a single pump and back again simply by unplugging the tubing from one of the pump connectors and plugging it into the square shaped adaptor in the centre of the tubing. This needs to be done to regulate the vacuum otherwise it will be lost out of the side not being used. Thank you Medela Australia.
