Pump with Elvie

There is no way I would still be breastfeeding without my Elvie. I felt like a dairy cow with a traditional pump, and I hated having to change bras or wear a really uncomfortable bra with a flange holder built in. With the Elvie, I can pop them in and continue working at my computer or doing chores around the house. They are so comfortable that I sometimes forget that I’m wearing them. I was worried that they would not work as well as my traditional pump, but I actually find that I get higher yields with this pump. I also have to hand it to the engineers that worked on the Bluetooth connectivity: this is the only Bluetooth device that I’ve had zero connectivity issues with. I don’t know how they did it, but thank you! I have a few complaints. The volume detection is never accurate for me, and at this point I don’t even use it because I got tired of correcting the amount. I wish that the timer had an automatic shut off feature, and I wish that the pump would let you override the full bottle shut off more easily because it will often say the bottle is full when it is not. I also hate the warnings I get about the pumps losing connection to the app when I intentionally shut them off after a session. Maybe this could be helped by a button in the app for disconnecting and shutting off the pumps. It might be nice to also add a customizable “power pumping” program for increasing supply.
