1. Elvie Breast Pump – Double Wearable Breast Pump (FSA/HSA Eligible)
The smallest, lightest and quietest wearable breast pump Elvie Pump makes it possible to pump on your own terms – at home, at work or on-the-go. Ditch the hours spent hidden in cupboards, tethered to a wall or cleaning tubes. With Elvie Pump you can lead the meeting, get outside or simply enjoy some peace and quiet… all while you pump.
Review: “So I finally caved and got this after pumping standing up in the bathroom at work every night and then ending up with a clogged milk duct after a crazy 16hr shift where I only got to pump twice. As a rapid response nurse, I never know when I’m going to get called to an emergency and the one pump room is often occupied. The Elvie has made pumping at work and home a dream. And I never thought I’d say that about pumping!!” – Amazon Customer

Review: “Yea… You can use a syringe and just squirt medicine in your babes mouth… But this makes it 100x easier, and enjoyable? when it comes to giving your baby medicine, this makes it so easy! Just pop the paci in their mouth, wait for them to start suckling and slowing squirt it in their mouth. It’s almost like they don’t know any different from eating. This will now be something I get for all new moms.”– Amazon Customer

Review: “I honestly didn’t know what the expect with this product. I didn’t know what it was until I opened the box. I didn’t know how it would work. But after reading the instructions and using it, IT WORKED INSTANTLY. Our newborn would cry because of colic and we tried everything to help relieve her, but nothing worked. As soon as we used this, she was able to pass gas and also, she pooped for the day!!! After using this 2-3x, she’s now able to pass gas on her own and poop on her own. AMAZING AND GENIUS PRODUCT. Totally worth it. It comes in a pack of 10 and have only used 2-3.”
