First time mom here. I’m currently undecided about which one to choose. My insurance covers both, I originally picked the spectra but now I’m wondering if I should get the elvie?

I haven’t personally used them but I heard the reviews on the Elvie were not great. I personally am going with the momcozy one but everyone has different thoughts!

oh yes! I’ll def look into mom cozy.

I was also wanting to get the elvie but I looked into the reviews and for the amount of money you spend there are still so many flaws like leakage and stuff. The momcozy ones are cheaper and work better but the spectra I also hear great things from ! It just depends if you wanna be plugged into an outlet or not

What is this?

Spectra 100%. It’s hospital grade. You’re more likely to respond well to a wall pump too. Elvie is portable hands free right? A lot of people actually find that hands free pumps don’t tend to empty them as well which can lead to lower supply.

Spectra is very confusing and has a lot of settings. Personally, if you want a wearable, I'd go with elvie Stride or the double wearable cord free one. And if you want a universal wall or wearable I'd, go with Medela pump in style

I’ve heard good things about the spectra s1, because you don’t have to plug it into the wall unlike the s2 which I’m getting because of my insurance. The downside I’ve heard for the spectra is it may be hard to travel or go anywhere with it because it’s pretty big so the Elvie would be better for on the go. The spectra has a 4.7 rating, the Elvie has a 3.7 rating.

I did look at reviews and I don’t think I’ll be getting the elvie. I did look at the mom cozy. I’ll probably keep the spectara since it’s free and get the mom cozy on my own. Now I just need to figure out which mom cozy lol

I have ordered Medela Pump In Style with Maxflow double electric breast pump.
- Which is totally covered through my Insurance.
- Comes with Pump, tote and accessories all in one.
- Easy Set up & Cleanup
- It is Double electric so I can pump both breast at a time. (increase milk volume by almost 12%)
- It has a battery backup.
- It is good for regular pumping mother's.
- It’s also a closed system pump so you don’t have to worry about milk entering the tubing.
- Then there’s all the stuff you need to pump—a cooler, a battery pack, two sizes of breast shields, bottles etc.
- Regarding Cleaning: there aren’t a ton of parts to clean when you’re done.
- Weight of the pump is 1.1 lbs
- Even after delivering of the baby after 36 days my insurance will also cover replacement parts every three months, six months or once per year. (Which is is good & hygienic).
Disadvantage: There’s no screen on this pump, so you can’t easily glance at what level your pump is set on or how long you’ve been pumping.
