Pumping made easier with Lansinoh Affinity Pro {giveaway}

February 20, 2013 54 Comments

Breastfeeding is one of my favorite memories of having babies. When I was pregnant with Jackson, I decided that I would give breastfeeding a try but not worry about it if I had a hard time. I was not breastfed as a baby and neither was my Mom (back then my Gaga have her corn syrup and evaporated milk!), so I knew that a baby would be just fine with whatever I chose to feed him or her. However, I always thought that a relationship a mom has with her baby while breastfeeding was something very special (not to mention the health benefits for both Mom & baby).

After a very rough delivery with Jackson, I believe the universe blessed us with a smooth breastfeeding experience. Besides some mild soreness and anxiety about weight gain (in Jackson, not me), our nursing experience was easy. One worry that I had about breastfeeding was leaving my baby. How would he eat? Would he take milk from a bottle? What would I use to pump the milk? As a new Mom, I was very anxious about all things related to feedings. I bought an electric double breast pump and used it to build up a milk stash for Jackson to have when I left him. The pump I used got the job done, but it was huge and sometimes I felt like I needed a wheelbarrow to transport my “big black bag housing a pump” around.

I had Jackson a few years too early to use a Lansinoh Affinity Pro Double Electric Breast Pump but I would have loved to use this! First of all, it’s very compact and comes in a sleek bag that looks like it could be a stylish purse. Secondly, you know how I love technology, right? This pump has a LCD timer that allows you to manage your time effectively, which would have eliminated me watching the clock like a hawk to see how long I had pumped. Besides the cute carrying tote and timer, there are many more cool features:

ComfortFit Flanges
Maximum Hygiene Design: guarantees no milk back-up
Adjustable Settings: customize the perfect suction and rhythm for you
Bottle Stands: to prevent spills of your precious “liquid gold”
Compact, Light Base: easy to carry with you and hassle-free
AC Adapter/Battery: takes 6 AA batteries so if you aren’t near an outlet you won’t have to stand in the open at a public restroom during a wedding (I may or may not have done this)
For long-term, daily use at home or away
Compatible with any hands-free bra (this is awesome)
