Nuby Ultimate Single Electric Breast Pump – Stimulation & Expression | Digital Display | Quiet & Discreet

Product Information

The pump is easy to use – there are no small parts to fiddle around with, which is brilliant, as it's always a bit daunting putting little pieces of your breast pump in the dishwasher or trying to hand wash every nook and cranny of a tiny valve. Although a newcomer to the field, femtech startup Elvie has really shaken up the market with its electric breast pump, which is not only silent but also offers women the ability to pump discreetly while on the move, doing something else or out and about (yes, that includes during a meeting). So third time around I am able to breastfeed again as Wills hasn’t got tongue tie like his sister, thank goodness. Medela has created new Flex breast shields that help to express more milk and provide more comfort when pumping.

Take your time when pumping and don’t be disheartened if the flow doesn’t start immediately – it may take a minute or two to get going. As a first time mum I was too shy to breastfeed in public and so stayed home or made very short trips out, ensuring I was always home for feeds. It’s not silent, but it doesn’t sound quite so mechanical or like a cow mooing, as is the case with many breast pumps. This is a neatly designed, lightweight breast pump made from BPA-free plastic, and comes with one of NUK’s own baby bottles with a soft, orthodontic teat. I was gifted this pump as an emergency present the day my daughter was born whilst still in the hospital as my daughter was born with tongue tie that was so bad she couldn’t latch to the breast at all.Finally, you’ll find all of the key specifications you need to know, including the type of pump (double or single), whether it’s a closed or open system, and its weight. It became painful to use and the buttons that switched the setting from “massage” to “draw” became extremely temperamental. I love that you express straight into the bottles, I was managing 4-5 oz in 15-20 minutes (one breast) and this was when my baby was only a few weeks old, so if I had carried on (I only managed to breast feed for 4 weeks as my baby just wouldn't latch, and I was not established enough to solely express, plus only one breast was producing milk, so was forced to stop) i'm sure I could have got much more.

The nuby bottle neck is much larger than a standard bottle neck so I have to pump into that and then decant into other bottles. There are five suction levels to ensure you can pump at a speed that’s suitable and comfortable for your flow, and a digital display keeps track of how long you’ve been expressing.

If you often find yourself needing to pump on the go, or at work, Medela’s new Harmony Flex Manual is a great choice. Manual breast pumps are also quieter and more portable, so a good choice if you’re travelling away from your baby. The NUBY Natural Touch Ultimate Digital Breast Pump is a pump that encourages milk let down and mimics baby’s feeding action by drawing from the breast, not from squeezing the nipple like conventional pumps. At least if your hands are free you can multi-task and do something else at the same time as expressing. Any part that interacts with milk must be washed and sterilised before the first use, which is easy enough as it's all dishwasher friendly and works with most sterilisers.
