FAQs
Q1: What Are the Different Types of Breast Pumps?
There are four main types of breast pumps:
Electric Breast Pump
Electric breast pumps are typically the most powerful options available and usually need to be plugged into a wall outlet. They come in two types: double electric pumps, which allow for simultaneous expression from both breasts, and single electric pumps, which can only express milk from one breast at a time. All of Momcozy's breast pumps are double electric models, offering both single and double options. Equipped with a large battery capacity, these pumps enable prolonged use, providing mothers with the convenience to pump milk wherever they are.
Battery-Operated Breast Pump
Similar in functionality to electric breast pumps, battery-operated breast pumps are characterized most notably by their portability. By being powered with a battery, they are also often considered hands-free breast pumps. While there may be perceived differences in suction experience due to fit and structural issues, our breast pumps actually have no difference in suction power. These pumps are popular options for those who need to pump while at work, on the go, or in situations without access to a wall outlet. Although Momcozy's breast pumps are electric, they are rechargeable and portable, allowing for hands-free use after charging, making them convenient for mothers on the move.
Manual Breast Pump
These breast pumps require manual hand operation to create the suction required to express milk. While manual breast pumps don't include as many features as electric models, they are often lightweight, easy to transport, and very affordable.
Hospital-Grade Breast Pump
A hospital-grade breast pump is a high-performance electric breast pump designed for multiple users. These pumps provide strong, adjustable suction levels for efficient milk expression and are built to withstand heavy usage, making them more robust than standard home pumps. They are particularly beneficial for mothers facing medical events that prevent direct breastfeeding, such as NICU stays, the birth of multiples, mastitis, and other breastfeeding difficulties. Many wearable pump brands, including Momcozy, offer pumps with suction strength comparable to hospital-grade models, such as the Momcozy V1 Pro breast pump, featuring 3rd Generation Upgraded technology, 300mmHg suction, and 15 suction levels.
Q1 : Quels sont les éléments à prendre en compte lors de l'achat d'un tire-lait électrique ?
Lors de l'achat d'un tire-lait électrique, tenez compte de facteurs tels que les réglages de succion, le niveau sonore, la portabilité, la facilité de nettoyage, la durée de vie des piles et le fait que le tire-lait s'adapte à votre mode de vie, comme la reprise du travail ou les déplacements fréquents.
Q2 : Quels sont les avantages des tire-laits électriques par rapport aux tire-laits manuels ?
Par rapport aux tire-laits manuels, les tire-laits électriques offrent plusieurs avantages, notamment une plus grande efficacité dans l'expression du lait grâce à une puissance d'aspiration constante, ce qui permet de gagner du temps et d'augmenter potentiellement la production de lait. En outre, ils nécessitent moins d'effort physique de la part de l'utilisatrice, ce qui peut être particulièrement avantageux pour les tirages fréquents ou pour gérer des problèmes tels que des douleurs ou une baisse de la production de lait.
Q3 : Un tire-lait électrique peut-il aider à soulager l'engorgement des seins ?
Oui, un tire-lait électrique peut être un outil utile pour soulager l'inconfort de l'engorgement mammaire. En exprimant le lait, le tire-lait réduit la pression et la plénitude des seins, ce qui peut apporter un soulagement immédiat.
Q4 : Un tire-lait mains libres peut-il être utilisé à l'extérieur ?
Oui, un tire-lait mains libres, tel que le Momcozy M9, peut être utilisé à l'extérieur. Ces dispositifs sont conçus pour être pratiques et mobiles, et sont souvent dotés de piles de longue durée, ce qui les rend idéaux pour une utilisation dans divers environnements en dehors de la maison, tels que les parcs, les événements en plein air ou les promenades. En outre, si vous recherchez un tire-lait encore plus portable, le Momcozy S12Pro est un excellent choix. Il offre une aspiration puissante tout en étant léger, ce qui le rend parfait pour les mamans occupées qui ont besoin de tirer leur lait lorsqu'elles sont en déplacement.
Q5 : Un tire-lait électrique peut-il imiter la force de succion d'un bébé ?
Oui, les tire-laits électriques Momcozy sont conçus pour imiter les schémas de succion naturels d'un bébé. Ils sont souvent réglables, ce qui permet aux utilisateurs de trouver un rythme et une force qui se rapprochent de la sensation d'allaitement d'un bébé, ce qui peut être plus confortable pour la mère et plus efficace pour stimuler l'écoulement du lait.
Q7 : Un tire-lait portable a-t-il une capacité d'aspiration inférieure à celle d'un tire-lait ordinaire ?
Non, un tire-lait portable n'a pas toujours une puissance d'aspiration inférieure à celle d'un modèle standard plus volumineux. Prenez le Momcozy S12Pro, par exemple. Conçu pour être à la fois compact et ultra-léger, il offre néanmoins une puissance d'aspiration équivalente à celle de nombreux tire-laits traditionnels. Ainsi, les mères n'ont pas à sacrifier la performance pour la portabilité, ce qui offre une solution efficace pour les besoins de pompage en déplacement.
Q8: Can I use an electric breast pump while at work?
Absolutely! Modern electric wearable pumps like the Momcozy Mobile Flow M9 feature hands-free operation, ultra-quiet motors (below 48dB), app controls, and discreet designs that fit inside regular bras. With 150mins of battery life and 15 intensity levels, you can pump discreetly during meetings or while completing work tasks.
Q9: How do I clean and maintain my electric breast pump?
To ensure optimal performance and hygiene, disassemble all components of your electric breast pump and wash washable parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water after each use, focusing on the parts that come into contact with milk. Follow these key steps for proper cleaning and disinfection:
1. Cleaning (After Each Use):
Disassemble and Rinse Immediately: Right after pumping, take apart all parts that touched breast milk and rinse them with cool water to prevent milk from drying.
Wash Thoroughly with Hot, Soapy Water: Use a clean basin , hot water, and dish soap to wash all parts inside and out, paying special attention to valves, membranes, and connectors. Use a bottle brush and small detail brush to help.
Rinse Soap Thoroughly with warm water: Rinse all parts completely under warm running water to remove any soap residue.
2. Disinfection (At Least Once Daily): Choose one of these methods:
Boiling: Submerge parts in boiling water for 5 minutes.
Steaming: Use an electric steam sterilizer or microwave steam sterilizer bags according to the product instructions.
Dishwasher (if parts are dishwasher safe): Place parts on the top rack of the dishwasher and use hot water and a heated drying or sanitize cycle.
3. Drying and Storage:
Air Dry Completely: Place all parts on a clean paper towel or drying rack and allow them to air dry fully.
Store Cleanly: Once dry, store parts in a clean, breathable container or resealable bag in a dry and clean location.
For added convenience, you can use the Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer and Sterilizer, which effectively cleans pump parts, bottles, and nipples. Regularly inspect the valves and membranes for wear and replace them every 1-3 months. After washing, store the parts in breathable containers once they are completely air-dried to prevent mold growth.
Q10: Are Momcozy breast pumps suitable for moms of all breast sizes?
Yes, Momcozy breast pumps are designed to accommodate moms with various nipple sizes, which is what truly matters for a proper fit - not breast cup size. The flange size you need will be based on the size of your nipple, not your breast cups. Women with bigger breasts sometimes need smaller flanges and vice versa.
Most Momcozy breast pump sets come standard with 24mm flanges. For moms with smaller nipples, we also provide silicone inserts in 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm sizes to ensure a comfortable and effective fit. For those needing larger options, select Momcozy breast pump models allow for the purchase of 27mm flanges separately.
Finding the correct flange size is essential for effective milk expression, preventing discomfort, and optimizing output. The adjustable suction levels further enable customization for individual comfort and milk flow. We recommend measuring your nipple diameter or consulting with a lactation specialist if you're unsure which size would work best for you.
Q11: Is it necessary to use pumping bras when using a breast pump?
No, it is not strictly necessary to use pumping bras when using a breast pump, but they can significantly enhance your pumping experience. Pumping bras are designed to provide optimal support and positioning for the pump, allowing for hands-free pumping. They typically have features like openings or flaps that accommodate the pump's flanges, making it easier to wear comfortably and discreetly. Additionally, a pumping bra helps ensure a secure fit, preventing leaks and allowing you to move around more freely while pumping. Ultimately, the choice depends on your personal preference, but investing in a pumping bra can make the pumping process more efficient and enjoyable.
Q12: How often should I use a breast pump to maintain my milk supply?
To maintain your milk supply, it is generally recommended to pump every 2 to 3 hours during the day and at least once at night if you're exclusively pumping. This frequency mimics a baby's natural feeding schedule and helps stimulate milk production.
If you're breastfeeding and using a pump to supplement, you can pump after nursing sessions to ensure you're emptying the breasts fully. Additionally, if you notice a decrease in milk supply, increasing the frequency of pumping sessions can help boost production.
Q13: Can I use a breast pump if I have a low milk supply?
Yes, you can and should use a breast pump if you have a low milk supply. Pumping can help stimulate your breasts to produce more milk by mimicking the baby's natural feeding patterns. Here are some tips to consider:
1. Frequent Pumping: Aim to pump every 2 to 3 hours to encourage milk production. The more you pump, the more signals your body receives to produce milk.
2. Power Pumping: Consider power pumping, which involves pumping for 20 minutes, resting for 10 minutes, and repeating this cycle for an hour. This technique can help increase milk supply.
3. Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Ensure you are drinking enough water and eating a balanced diet, as hydration and nutrition play a key role in milk production.
Using a breast pump can be an effective way to help increase your milk supply while providing your baby with the nourishment they need.For more tips on managing low milk supply, check out our blog on How To Deal With Low Breast Milk Supply.
Q14: Is It Painful To Use a Breast Pump?
Just like with breastfeeding, using a breast pump should not be painful or uncomfortable. The sensation of pumping should feel similar to comfortable breastfeeding, involving some pressure and gentle tugging. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, it may indicate that you need to check the flange size and adjust the suction level. If pain persists, don’t hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or a lactation consultant for assistance.
