The best breast pump for travelling

Nowadays, travelling with babies is becoming more and more frequent, thanks to the many inventions of civilisation that have made life so much easier. One of them is the new generation of cordless breast pump, which we have tested and which can be conveniently used literally EVERYWHERE! How is this possible? Because it is completely invisible! In our opinion, it’s the best breast pump for travelling and active mums! Whether you are breastfeeding or pumping, this is the perfect invention for mums. Because it allows you to travel, stay active and enjoy motherhood. One of the co-founders of “Travel 4 kids”, Agne, who has seven-month-old Paule, has been testing the breast pump for over a month.

After a month of using and testing this breast pump at home, on the plane, on the road, in the car, I can confidently say – MOMCOZY, this is the best breast pump for travelling. And sometimes it’s hard to believe that such a handy and good thing exists. So we share our first insights and recommendations about MOMCOZY.

The best breast pump for travelling – why do you need a breast pump?

For unplanned events

Why do you need a breast pump – is often the thought of a mother-to-be. There are many different reasons for buying a breast pump. Sometimes breastfeeding needs to be stimulated, sometimes the baby fails to latch on, sometimes the mother needs treatment or surgery, sometimes the mother has to go to work early. And sometimes you just need an extra breast pump for extra occasions – when you need to sleep, go to the dentist, play sports or spend the day with your older children. And very often, a breast pump is also bought for storing the mother’s milk supply.

For me personally, a breast pump has been useful since the first days of Paule’s birth. While she was in intensive care, I had to pump her milk. In hospital, I used a professional breast pump. And when I left the hospital, I knew that I would get a MOMCOZY cordless breast pump. Not because I was planning to feed Paule with pumped milk, but because there are different situations when breastfeeding that require milk to be pumped. Besides, I had heard so much about it and seen so many reviews from foreign bloggers. It just seemed like the perfect thing. Why?

Saving time while pumping milk

What makes me particularly ” fussy” about regular breast pumps is that the milk extraction process takes quite a long time. And it’s very uncomfortable and time consuming to be tied to the wires while pumping. Especially if you have to pull milk frequently, then you have to sit in one place. And sometimes you have to take care of the baby or an older child. Go to the toilet. And that precious mother’s time just evaporates when you’re pumping and sitting at the pump. Because you could use this time to have a walk with your baby, have a coffee, make lunch or just do a few chores. With MOMCOZY, you can do it without any hassle. It’s portable, there are no cords, you can hardly see it and it can do practically anything while pumping milk.

Can a breast pump help you on your travels?

We know that many of our readers and followers are adventurous families who aren’t afraid to travel, even with the little ones. However, when travelling with a baby, there are sometimes situations that are a bit inconvenient and we would like to solve them more easily. One of these situations is the pumping of breast milk.

It certainly is, especially if you use it a lot at home.

Personally, I also find the breast pump very useful for stockpiling breast milk. When I had my first-born, freezing and pumping milk was an ordeal. It was time-consuming to have to sit with the breast pump in front of the wires. But now with MOMCOZY – one of the most enjoyable.

Even if you are breastfeeding yourself, a breast pump can help you in many situations, both on the go and at home:

Car feeding

When you can’t stop to breastfeed, a pumped breastmilk can help. Because you CAN’T take your baby out of the car seat while the car is moving.

Playing with an older child

It is safe to leave the baby with another adult while the mother takes time for swimming or a trip with the older child. Personally, I found the breast pump very helpful when we were in Latvia with Motiejus and Paule at a water park. While Motiejus and I waited in the queues at the water slides, Paule spent some quiet time with her grandmother in the warm spa. And, so that Paule wouldn’t accidentally shed a lot of tears when she wanted milk, Grandma had a bottle of milk. By the way, I easily pumped the milk with MOMCOZY on the car ride to the water park to keep it as fresh as possible.

Mothers going out without the baby

If the mother has to go out on her own and the milk production is intense, it may be necessary to pump off a little to prevent the breasts from hardening and causing inflammation. Of course, it can also be a forced trip, like a doctor’s appointment or other important business. Our advice to all mums is to make sure you take time for yourself. Whether it’s a manicure, a hairdresser or just a cup of coffee in the park. Half an hour or a few hours just for you can make you feel better. And your well-being is equivalent to your baby’s well-being.

If you are breastfeeding or pumping frequently, then a breast pump is essential when you are not with your baby. Because to avoid engorged breasts, you really need to pump. And the benefits are great. Let’s say while you were getting a manicure, you pumped one portion of milk for freezing. It can be used for your baby’s porridge later. Personally, I don’t feel any discomfort from pumping. Because I can do anything I want to do while I’m pumping – reading, tidying up, playing with the kids.

Leaving the child with dad for longer periods of time

As I breastfeed Paule on demand, I can never leave her because I never know when she will want milk. When I was travelling in Sakartvelo, I knew that I wanted to have a massage at the spa centre in Sairmė. And I knew that I could only relax if I knew that Paule would be at ease with her daddy and would have my milk ready if she needed it. So, on the way to the spa, I pumped my milk in the car and enjoyed the massage in peace.

Feeding on a plane

If you are on a plane, you need to breastfeed your baby on take-off and landing. But if you are uncomfortable breastfeeding in public. MOMCOZY can help you here too. At the airport before the flight and on the plane before landing – pump the milk and give the baby a bottle.

The best breast pump for travelling – which one to choose?

There are more and more breast pumps on the market every year, but they are broadly divided into manual and electric breast pumps. However, we have found an option that combines the best features of both manual and electric breast pumps. The MOMCOZY M5 dual cordless breast pump is the latest invention that will make mum’s daily routine easier, not only at home, but also on all trips, outings, flights and rides. In addition, the breast pump is sold with a very handy travel case, which will never get lost, broken, or wires tangled. It is very convenient to take with you.

The MOMCOZY breast pump, has no wires to restrict movement and is fully electric, so it requires no extra effort! Plus, you have both hands free to love your little one, hold the steering wheel, hold a book or prepare lunch. I am eternally grateful to the Mamaland e-shop team who gave me the opportunity to try out the MOMCOZY M5 even before it hit the e-shop.

By the way, the Mamaland store has a very wide range of different breast pumps – Spectra, Medela, Philips, Tommee tippee.

Why the MOMCOZY M5 is the best breast pump

• Wireless, small, fits in the palm of your hand. You can put it in your bra and you can’t see the breast pump at all;
• the milk accumulates in a compartment built into the cap itself;
• both caps can be used simultaneously or one at a time;
• the breast pump is equipped with the latest generation of milk extraction technology that adapts to the structure of the baby’s mouth;
• the opening of the breast cap is angled at 105°. This makes the M5 even more comfortable to place on the breast, unlike the horizontal opening of the breast cap;
• does not squeeze the breast ducts;
• Ensures smooth milk flow;
• has 3 operating modes and 9 power levels to suit your needs;
• does not cause any pain during milk pumping;
• does not restrict movement – you can drive, exercise, cook, hike or just lie comfortably. I have personally tried the breast pump in almost every possible situation (on a plane, driving, walking around the city, playing with Motiejus in the playground);
• long battery life;
• very quiet, so people around you won’t really know what you’re doing. And the breast pump is very easy to maintain;
• 5 different sizes of attachments for different nipple sizes (11-25 mm) are included;
• everything fits in a minimalistic travel case.

The 3 different modes of operation are very useful and convenient:

1. Stimulation – relaxes the breast ducts, stimulating the release of milk more quickly;
2. Intensive extraction – slow and deep milk pumping;
3. Mixed – 5 cycles of stimulation and 1 cycle of intensive extraction ensure effective milk pumping.

So the MOMCOZY M5 is truly the best breast pump for travelling!
