However, it is good to be able to walk around the office and attend meetings and sit at my desk, I don't have an office, while keeping on my pump schedule.Ĭurrently WFH, so I am using the Elvie for my first AM pump while I eat breakfast, than I use the Spectra with my hands free pumping bra because I am trapped at my desk working anyway and it is faster and provides me more instant feedback that I may not be drinking enough water.Your breast pump strength (and the ability to adjust it) is extremely important. My supply is prone to tanking a bit if I am not drinking enough, and the Elvie doesn't have the suction to still get a good pump when that happens. I have both the Elvie and Spectra 2, I got the Elvie about a month ago as a present to myself for getting a new job as a manager. I’m also a working mom and will be back in an office in June (Corona willing) and husband will be back at work in May so I’m thinking it could be a huge help then too. Anyone use the Elvie? Is it worth it? Right now it’s on sale at buybuy baby and I have a 15% off coupon that applies so it’s $365 total. Right now I’m using the spectra 2 and it’s working great other than being tied up. I’ve looked up reviews and watched videos on the Elvie vs Willow and I like the Elvie better (not into the bags you need for the Willow). At first when my parents were here it was great - I’d watch a video on my phone or read for a half hour while baby was being watched but now that it’s just me and my husband, the times when he’s sleeping are difficult for me when it comes to pumping. Problem is - when I pump I feel like I’m tethered to the couch and I usually pump for about a half hour. I’ve been pumping and bottle feeding her and it’s been great. She was born early and very small so her latch and transfer just wasn’t developed enough.

My baby girl is just about two weeks old - I had originally planned to EBF but little miss had other plans (don’t they always).
