Not completely wire free, but very portable- I used the Ameda Mya pump. It is small enough to put in your pjs pocket and is battery operated once charged so you can walk around with it. The only “wires” would be the tubing from the pump to the flanges. \r\n\r\nI used this in combo with a bra recommended by my lactation consultant that you can slide the flanges into (bra has flaps where nipples are) and then I just pumped into two small bottles to put right into the fridge.

The bra held the flanges securely in place. \r\n\r\nNote I would think this is fine for around the house but probably not for trying to go to work and simultaneously pump. Unless you don’t mind some weird looks about the contraption under your shirt. 😅 \r\n\r\nGood luck! I am due in December and definitely feel more prepared this time around, but still interested to see what other moms have used too!","subreddit_name":"breastfeeding","author":"LizardBritches"},{"body":"This pumping bra is the best! It really kept the flanges in place without worry or leaks. Check out the size chart for your best fit but I think it says your large-xlarge. I had 2 if one was in the wash.

We had two back in the day but I haven't seen anything from them in years.  If it helps, for my last baby I wore regular nursing camisoles or bras and then slid this on when pumping at work.

It's unfortunate that you are in this position where you are not going to be able to rely on family help during a time when even having someone hold the baby for an hour while you shower and fold laundry is such a huge relief.  If you're going to try breastfeeding don't forget that insurance will provide a breast pump for when you return to work and pumping tanks/bras are hugely helpful (I had this but have given it away now) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00295MQLU/.  I didn't end up being able to, but the spectra pump was nicer than the medela (I borrowed a spectra from a co worker who was done with hers when I was having difficulty, she had said the medela hadn't worked for her).  \r\n\r\nI hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly.","subreddit_name":"AmItheAsshole","author":"dragon34"},{"body":"This one.

Manual?  Electric?  Double electric?  You really do need a double electric if you plan to pump at the start (very likely as they want low birth weight babies to be monitored in the hospital for a bit even if all else is well, they call them feeder-growers).  \r\n\r\nIf you have any inkling of being open for potentially long term pumping (or if you only have a manual/single electric Medela), then I'd recommend calling your insurance tomorrow morning.  Many of them need an order from your doctor, so if you factor that in, plus shipping, it will likely take a week at least to get it, and you want to have it right away.  Hospitals do have pumps there that they can supply you with while you are hospitalized, but after you yourself get discharged its up in the air what resources you might have.  My son's NICU had a few pumps but they were often in use so it was so much more convenient to use my own rather than wait, as you need to stay on schedule if you are pumping.  \r\n\r\n Additionally a pumping bra is a must.  Your wrists and hands will get so tired holding the pump in a specific place (if you move around it easily loses suction) for 15+ minutes.   This also frees your hands so you can eat or go on the computer or whatever.  [This is the bra I used](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00295MQLU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;th=1), and it was so wonderful, that I bought a second for use with my next son (he started off in the NICU for breathing problems and later needed surgery, and I was able to pump for him those times).  I even pumped in the car multiple times while my husband drove (I got a converter to plug it into my car).  \r\n\r\nI've gotten a free breast pump with both of my sons from the insurance.  I know some people like to have two (i.e. one at work, one at home), so it depends on what works best for you.  ","subreddit_name":"Parenting","author":"aleii1"},{"body":"Honestly I am pretty thrifty. But for the amount of time I spent pumping in the first 18 months, spending $25 on an actual hands free, strapless nursing bra was worth triple the price I paid. [like this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00295MQLU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iFE5xbNVKWXEH)","subreddit_name":"beyondthebump","author":"andthischeese"},{"body":"Yes. It's [this one](http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Wishes-Hands-Free-Breastpump-X-Small-Large/dp/B00295MQLU). \r\n\r\nIt's awesome because it is super adjustable (big issue for me with my smaller ribcage and bigger boobs) and is wider so it actually covers and provides a little support. And the holes are nicer. ","subreddit_name":"InfertilityBabies","author":"hazelowl"},{"body":"Ok so you want to exclusively pump now?  Or just pump some for when its needed?\r\n\r\nIf you are still going to nurse, you should pump after a nursing session - getting the last out of the boob - so like 5 mins pumping after a nursing session.  If you are going to exclusively pump, you just pump when you would normally feed.  This should keep your supply up.  \r\n\r\nTry to relax as much as possible while pumping - pumps are less efficient then babies (babies get more out of the boob, easier), and a lot of how your body responds to the pump is your mental state, allowing the let down reflex etc.\r\n\r\nGet a hands free pumping bra b/c you will be pumping a lot and it'll be great to have use of your hands.  \r\n\r\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Simple-Wishes-Hands-Free-Breastpump-XS-L/dp/B00295MQLU/ref=sr_1_2/182-1996765-1330209?rps=1\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1440185419\u0026amp;sr=8-2\u0026amp;keywords=medela+hands+free+pump+bra\r\n\r\nDon't turn the pump suction on too hard - I did this when I went back to work and really hurt myself, be gentle, it should be on the lowest setting that gets milk out.   My pumping sessions were typically 20-30mins, and I was able to get 3-5oz out of each side.  This varys from woman to woman.\r\n\r\nDr browns bottles are compatible with the Madela pump as are the madela bottles.  We like the dr browns better - no air=less gassy baby, although they are more work to clean.\r\n\r\nUse nipple balm liberally.\r\n\r\nGood luck!  I hate hate hated pumping - but I love love loved feeding my baby.  Pick a good show and eat some treats while pumping and be very kind to yourself!  You're doing a good thing!\r\n\r\n**edit** don't worry too much about your oversupply, at this early stage your supply hasn't really regulated yet, engorgement is common.","subreddit_name":"beyondthebump","author":"AHusbandAnd2Cats"},{"body":"[This one](http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Wishes-Hands-Free-Breastpump-XS-L/dp/B00295MQLU) is great. Definitely can't wear it as a normal bra, since your nipples stick through the holes (ha). I usually just wear a nursing tank and pull it down and put this on, or take off my whole shirt and wear this. It's an extra minute of work to make the whole pumping process less tedious though.
