The First Years miPump Basic Review:

The number of reviewers who gave their comments on this breastfeeding equipment were more than one hundred and fifty, and the average rating was at 3.3 stars.

Those who loved this breast pump described it as delivering exceptional results. One mom shared how she expressed her breast milk exclusively, owing to early problems with breastfeeding and needing to get back to work. She initially used a different brand of breast pump and switched to this model two months before she wrote the review. She was pleasantly surprised at how great the pump was: she described the shields as being highly comfortable, and she commended the handle for allowing her to multi-task. She also felt that she got more milk, perhaps due to the vibration that helped give more stimulation. Another buyer noted that the pump was very compact, which she liked. She also loved the included tote, as she found it to be stylish and discreet for bringing the pump along on trips or to work. Many of the reviewers also confirmed the ease of pumping with this pump, and how quiet it was during pumping. They also appreciated its having the option of being battery-operated, as it meant they could use it anywhere any time. The pump was also commended for being lightweight and compact.

One buyer noticed though, that despite the good points for this pump, it might not be as comfortable for women with large breasts, as there were no breast shields of a larger size available. Still, she felt that this was not enough of an issue to deter large-breasted women, especially considering the efficiency and the value for money they would get from this device. At least one reviewer was a lady with relatively large breasts, and all she mentioned was that she wished the pump had a greater suction, as she was already using the highest power setting and her milk production was still very limited. Of course, there are other factors that affect milk production, and other reviewers who reported expressing sufficient milk from this pump advised her to pump after nursing her baby.

From these comments, we would be very happy to recommend this piece of breastfeeding equipment for your breastfeeding goals.
