If you are breastfeeding, you will quickly discover that your mighty milk machines deserve an Oscar for the performance they put in every day. They are put through some pretty demanding challenges, from cluster feeding to mastitis, and they continue to put out 100%.
Yep. Our breasts deserve an Oscar. But, instead of Oscar, why not consider an Ella?
Say Hello to Ella!
The Ella Breast Pump is one of our fave breast pumps in the Mumilk range. Owned and operated in Geelong, Victoria, Mumilk products are trusted by 50,000 mums and the Ella Portable Breast Pump is our choice for the breast-supporting breast pump (see what we did there?).
After all, we all need a bit of breast support when taking on the full-time job that is breastfeeding.
Here are seven reasons why every mum will need to depend on a breast pump during the bumpy breastfeeding road.
1. Excuse me, Miss, your shirt has sprung a leak
Actually, it’s not the shirt. It’s the overactive bewbs underneath them that heard a baby sneeze and have decided they need to spray milk out for all to love. Leaky bewbs are part of the package when breastfeeding and a breast pump isn’t going to stop this from happening. But, what a breast pump does is help control the confusion of supply and demand and provide you with relief in between breastfeeding sessions.
If you’re away from your baby and your breasts, having a portable breast pump you place in your shirt not only stops your leaky assets, but also allows you to collect some liquid gold for later.
The Ella Portable Double Electric Breast Pump is a double electric breast pump, meaning you can pump on both sides or just one. Bub may be feeding on one side while you can attach Ella to the other breast and catch all that excess milk for later. Winning – and no milk-stained shirts!
A portable breast pump provides relief in all sorts of breastfeeding situations. Like the first time your baby sleeps through the night and you wake up to discover you’ve sprung milky mountains that would leave Wonka jealous. Just add a bit of chocolate and you’ve got your own Chocolate Fountain.
2. Supply, Demand and the Madness that is MastitisÂ
During the first few weeks having a portable breast pump on hand can assist with getting supply and demand down pat. Plus, if you ever experience the 8th circle of Hell that is mastitis, then you’ll be oh-so-grateful to have your breast-supporting pump helping to massage the milky eggs out of your ducts.
3. Boost your Supply (and the Supply in the Freezer)Â
And let’s not forget about building your milk supply. Pumping can help increase your supply or maintain it if you’re away from your baby for longer stretches.
The Ella Breast Pump is a wonder woman in terms of efficiency and can easily extract milk in record time. With the double pumping capacity, you can express more milk in less time, and you can adjust the suction levels to optimise your milk flow to your comfort level.
4. Achieve Better Breastfeeding/Life Balance
With a portable breast pump, you don’t have to set aside time to pump. You can do it while doing the other tasks on your to-do list. Simply place it into your bra, adjust the settings to suit and away you go.
Work, drive, exercise, wash dishes, and do puzzles with your toddler. Pump for five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes and experience zero disruptions to your routine. For multitasking mums, this is a huge benefit!
For mums with newborns and toddlers, having the Ella on hand is a game changer. You know that dreaded mum guilt about spending too much time keeping up with the newborn demands and not enough time with your older kids? With the Ella Portable Breast Pump, you can easily focus 100% on your toddler while Bub is napping and Ella does the pumping.
5. Hand over Feeding DutiesÂ
The Ella Breast Pump is not only designed to give your breasts a helpful hand but your mind and body as well. While bonding through breastfeeding is one of the most incredible things in the world, every mum deserves a break from being the only source of food and comfort for their babies. The demands of breastfeeding not only take a toll on our poor sore nipples, but it can also leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and in need of a mental break.
Trust us, mums – taking a night off from the constant cluster feeds can do wonders for your mental health! And with Ella on your bedstand and some bottles of milk in the fridge ready to go, Dad can take over night duty and you can discover the joy of sleeping longer than 7 minutes at a time.
Ella isn’t just there when you need a decent sleep. She’s also a huge help if you are away from your baby for any reason, whether at work or simply enjoying a girl’s night out with a few wines. Contrary to popular belief, mums are allowed to go out and have fun too. Ella can’t prevent the hangover though so don’t go too nuts.
6. Bonding for allÂ
Occasionally, handing over feeding duties also means other family members can bond with bub during feeding times. There’s nothing sweeter than a milk-drunk baby sleeping soundly in your arms. Everyone in the family should be able to experience this baby bubble bliss.
7. Mumilk The Ella Breast Pump isn’t just a want. It’s a need.Â
Sure, she’s not an Oscar, but, to breastfeeding mums, she’s even better.
The Ella Portable Breast Pump is convenient, portable, easy to use and comfortable. You don’t need to plug Ella into a socket to use her either. You can attach her directly to your breasts and place her into your bra. Then go about your day-to-day, whether you’re enjoying a bit of me time or folding the laundry that never ends.
Mumilk the Ella comes with 80-90 minutes of battery time from being fully charged, and you can easily get four or five sessions before recharging. Carry and use the portable electric breast pump whenever and wherever you are with its compact and lightweight design. Plus, she’s extra easy to operate, clean and put together with just four parts and no tubes.
The Mumilk The Ella Portable Breast Pump Bundle has everything you need to pump, store and go, including 2 x breast pumps, 2 x size flanges, 2 x milk collector shields and 3 x silicone storage bags.Â
