Baby Bjorn vs Baby Delight Baby Bouncer
มุมมอง 9021 วันที่ผ่านมา
I bought the Baby Bjorn first, yes I pronounce it with a 𝘑 during this entire comparison- whatever, but then I took your advice and ordered the Baby Delight. You asked for a comparison and I just delivered. I’d be lying if I said they were equal, but I’d also be money grabbing if I told you to buy one over the other. I definitely think one has more positives than the other but at the end of the...

Thanks for this! 🤗 I love that you jumped right in and have the facts 🙌🏽
Yessss pitcher method for the win!
What collection cups are you using here?
Thank you for this. Especially the duckbill thing because I lost a part of mine and was frustrated that it got lost. Just a tiny piece and that duckbill doesn’t come apart which is great.
ok but where is this top from!? (PS love your videos)
Thank you!! It’s a dress by MLM brand. Mama owned, LA based. She offers these dresses and tanks!
@@bemybreastfriend thanks! I will check them out 😊
Where can I find that document for printout?
I do not offer a print out but onewiththepump.com does!
Hello! Do you have an updated review on the Zomee Fit? Trying to decide between that one the Momcozy M6 and Elvie Stride. Elvie stride is lower on the list. I have the spectra and motif Luna as well. Thank you!
❤❤❤ thank you! ❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂💀👏🏽
Self love is endless 😂
Is it fine that the milk gets cold (37 degrees) then goes back up to 59 when you add the next batch?
It's not uncommon for the milk temp to rise when adding fresh. of course volumes play a huge part- it not necessarily bad but I would recommend changing out the water for new ice if you're not headed back to your home right away. that is the beauty of the ceres chill. Regardless of which container youre adding fresh milk to, you'll always see change in temp of fresh but the CC is the only product you can add new ice to chill the milk temp right away.
@@bemybreastfriend thank you!! So is it fine for the milk you pumped at the beginning of the day to kind of fluctuate up and down in temp as you add fresh milk and wait for it to be cooled?
Hey there, I was wondering have you ever used breast pump wipes and what is your opinion on them? I noticed on the packaging it says safety tip external use only can you explain what that means because online I feel like they are marketed as safe alternative to cleaning breast pumps on the go is that true true?
Hi! I don't personally use them. I would however in a pinch- natural disaster, heavy traveling, etc. They are intended to clean the surface that milk has touched, you may just want to be sure that things are as dry as possible before use. I understand not wanting to use chemicals, I try to reduce use of most anything external when it comes to my breastfeeding products, but they are considered safe and cleaning breastfeeding parts and pieces are their true intent
@@bemybreastfriend thank you! The safety tip tripped me up so I just wanted to make sure, I appreciate your help! They definitely are handy in a pinch.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
What are those duckbills called and back flow protectors like what brand?
Can you please tell me where you got the mason jars/lids and freezer containers/organizers/bins?
urlgeni.us/amazon/pitchermethodstore
but honestly, i would try for your regular grocery store for mason jars and get pour spouts off amazon
This post helped me decide on Zomee cups this time around. I have been much more successful with them so THANK YOU!!! Do you know of any replacement parts (duck bills and/or diaphragms) that fit that are cheaper than purchasing directly through the zomee site?
i cannot tell you often i get this quetion. i need to go on a hunt for dupes. i will prioritze that. I am so glad this comp helped you decide!!
I love your videos thank you for sharing the love. I appreciate you! I followed your instructions on hacking with the Maymom base connector, it had a hole in the plastic so it doesn’t suction unless you cover the hole. Do you know with base connector or from where on Amazon can we find the connector that doesn’t have a hole in it…?
hey! thank you so much for your message, i am sorry for the late response. are you still looking for guidance? which part had a hole?
Is there another pump with similar technology? I feel like my boobs would respond better to that then the tugging
the limerick! babyation tried to rip off the limerick's tech and failed big time.
Which connector is that
im sorry which are you referring to? the flange connector?
What parts are those please 💛
@@marsiali2834 which are you looking for? bemybreastfriend.com/blogs/beginners-101/pump-hacks-with-closed-system-pumps?_pos=1&_sid=d6f03f63c&_ss=r
To combine all the extractions, is the pícher in the refrigerator or room temperature??? Thanks so much 😊
you can go room temp for 4 hours and then fridge after :)
Will you still be doing a full review on this pump? It's so hard to find information on this one since it's not very main stream.
I will, i need to break it out. im juggling so many pumps right now its difficult to hit them all quickly. I like to use things regularly before i put my opinion out there for all to see. one time use isnt a fair review
Thx a lot, pls speak on how to hack the BB next time
Wait I thought mixing warm and cold milk was a no no
@@twiztedtwinzanderson8069 if you’re on Instagram head to bemybreastfriend and watch protocol 8 highlight. I get into it there. Otherwise you can follow the worm hole from the CDC to the ABM Protocol 8 and read the undocumented evidence that it’s not supported. Or google when the AAP supported and stated the fact that mixing at different temperatures has not been proven to be un safe. It’s a whole thing, ultimately it’s your personal decision.
@@bemybreastfriend damn I wasn't aware of this rabbit hole. Thanks.
Is it just me or does it die way to fast
i cant say i can speak to that unfortunately. i cant rememeber off the top of my head. you can always reach out to CS for more help!
Haakaa colostrum collectors literally say “pre-sterilized” on the box haha
the new ones do, that wasnt always the case. thanks for the comment
New Momma here struggling to save my milk supply- is this still your fav way to hack lacteck with Pumpables GA??? Thank you in advance!!💛
yes! medela flange connectors, narrow neck bottles and legendairy. milk duckbills are my go to
Congrats Kristen!
thank you!!
Have you used the Zomee or Legendairy milk collection cups with this pump?
i have not but i am sure theyd both work
@@bemybreastfriendthanks !
Any recommendations for a cup or cups to pair with the baby Buddha and the Pumpables Genie Advanced? Anyone???💛💛 Thank you in advance

Quyana (thank you) 💛
Your videos are so helpful and straightforward!!! Thank you 🙏
thank you! love reading that
Does the bag come with all these accessory bags?
I love the pump and am not crazy about the cups. I just don’t like how leaky they are and how when milk pours in and the cups heat up, they get steamy so you can’t see anymore.
If you google search "unimom opera 50% off coupon code" you'll fine one :) also, a lot of insursnce companies will cover the cost of this pump if you give them a supplier
Greetings from Vietnam! Thank you for such an informative-yet-concise video. Could you please do an update video after you use the Phanpy cups please? Also, i look on their website and amazon store, and i cant seem to be able to find the wearable cups by themselves. I could only find the E-Rosy Ultra Light Breastpump for $80. Is that what you got? If so, could you also do a review about the motor itself? Thank you so much.
Phanpy is available off & on, if you are set on that cup I’d check again to see if they are available. I’ve heard they go offline for short periods of time & than come back after they re-up
Thank you for this review! It sounds like most of the things you mentioned were not your favorite, they actually improved with their new 2024 updated Zomee Fit! This gives me more faith in the new one because it does have a sensor and you can adjust to 4oz, 5oz, or 6oz automatic shut off. Although not sure if it is still loud. That isn’t that big of a concern for me because if I’m pumping and look like I have a boob job, than I’m definitely not being very discreet lol. But the pouring piece is something to consider, I get I could find a funnel or something to help pour my milk into bags. Overall helpful review. I think for the most part, the good outweighs the bad!
What brand flanges are you using with this pump? Looks different than what came with it.
I have elastic nipples & I only add 1mm
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure! 😀

Do you have luck refrigerating these?
Yes! Both refrigerate fine!
@@bemybreastfriend thanks for the reply!! I've been enjoying your videos! Keep up the good work, mama!
Oh good, the video is back! I have learned so much about pumping from the ‘dream team’ - Kristen and Julie! Thanks, from a IBCLC in Denver
Im here right now hehehe, is this the old one or the updated one ?
The newer one has a sensor! So I think this is the old version.
Hi, i would like to know if you have used Zomee Fit Wearable? is it better or worse than M5?
I have! i have the upgraded version but I haven’t used it yet since they’ve made all the changes, sensor, nipple corrector etc. I like both the M5 and Fit but I’ll admit the Fit is better quality. But the M5 is a better size design
@@bemybreastfriend so the updated one seems better that the M5? Wich one should I buy?
I have the willow 3.0 and the willow go I like the 3.0 more then the go but the are great pumps
Thank you so much for your candid and honest review. I got their hand pump with my first babe and at first I was so so about the flange but I loved that you could lock in the suction and it was So strong. I have a strong letdown and a major oversupply, as well as extremely elastic nipples so finding a pump and flange that match my needs has been incredibly difficult. Switch to baby number 2 and this time I decided to use the medela symphony and it’s been great but again the flange (24mm) just wasn’t long enough and my nipple was getting so damaged from hitting the back of the flange. But I remembered I had the limerick flange so I forced it into the medela neck and it worked! My left boob is the slacker and I had so much trouble getting a letdown and with the limerick, it’s almost instant. It’s incredible. I wish I chose this pump for babe #2 because I’m curious how the pump would work for me. But if I have one more, I’m Definitely going to buy one! Also, thank you for actually showing how it compresses the nipple, it’s super important for moms to visually see it!
am exclusively pumping my almost 4 months old. I use the Spectra but struggle to get my morning pumps as consistently as I need to grow my supply because of work from home demands and being the primary caregiver of 2 children. I also have a 3 year old. The Elvie gives me almost no milk compared to 3-4 oz combined each pumping session from Spectra with pumping pals flanges. I have elastic nipples. I got the Spectra about 2 months pp after my Ameda Maya Joy started malfunctioning and my supply almost died up. I had better output with the momcozy S9 for about a month prior to 2 months pp but the battery died prematurely. I purchased the S12PRO but it was very painful and gave very little milk output. Any suggestions on a wearable to supplement morning pumps along with my spectra?
