Pumping made easier with Lansinoh Affinity Pro {giveaway}

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)

  5. This looks like a fabulous pump! I love the timer I used to watch the clock. This would be great for our baby on the way!

  9. I am pregnant now and the pump I have from my last pregnancy sucks!! and not in a good way!

  12. I want to win for ME! I had an old pump that I bought used for $50. I shared it with my friend who managed to have babies about 6 months after me. As far as I know NINE babies were fed thanks to that pump. I loaned it out for the last baby and after about 15 years it finally quit. Now I need a pump to use when my surprise baby gets here.

  15. I would love to win one! Had a very bad breastfeeding experience a little over 2.5 years ago. Would love a different experience this time around.

    P.s.- did I do this right? lol

  16. Me! Just had baby a couple weeks ago and starting to figure out what to do for pumping to store milk for later.

  19. Oooohhh please pick me! I am due with baby #2 in October and my son will turn 2 yrs old in July, this pump could really be a life saver!! 🙂

  22. My friend is expecting her first early this summer after trying for several years and I know she would be so grateful for one of these.

  23. I would use it. My almost 2 year old daughter is still nursing and she doesn’t want to take in the cow’s milk so I think this would be great for me to express milk and put it in a bottle for her to start drinking on a bottle 🙂

  29. I’d like to win it for a teen mom who really wants to breast feed, but won’t be able to really do it much without a pump.

  33. I would love to win this for myself…I am still breastfeeding my son and my pump’s motor just went out this morning so this would help out so much!

  39. I used 2 Lansinoh pumps with my children! Would love to gift this to my friend Jennifer, who really needs one before her baby arrives!

  40. My sister and I have a friend who had struggles with nursing last time and could use a really nice quality double electric like this.

  43. I would love to have this pump! I’ve been using a Medela Pump in Style advanced but it’s uncomfortable and bulky. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I have it, but this sounds like it’d be right up my ally!

  47. With baby number 5 on the way.. I would love to win this and be able to mark this off my list of thing’s to get for baby and me.

  48. I am pregnant with baby #2 after 5 years! She is due in April! And I can’t wait to breastfeed! Had issues the first time with my son because I didn’t know that much and people weren’t very supportive, but I am going booby first this time! And being head strong! Nothing can stop us now!
