Open system pumps do not have any backflow protectors that would keep the milk out of the tubing and out of the pump.
UNIMOM MINUET PORTABLE
Furthermore, there are portable pumps, wearable pumps, and pumps that can only function when plugged up to an electrical source. There are two types of pumps - closed system and open system pumps. You can reach out to me, leave me a comment below or email me and I will be happy to help you.Įven if you are not a Tricare beneficiary, I do want to share some information on the different pump that are on the market and available to you.
UNIMOM MINUET HOW TO
I can help with info on how to use your pump, warranty claims and breastfeeding in general. Even better, you benefit from my experiences and knowledge even after you order your pump. As your Military Mommies partner, I will provide you with free resources, virtual consultations and assistance with the ordering process. The good news is, that breast pumps are always covered for Tricare beneficiaries, along with up to 36 months of supplies. Depending on the Tricare region you may qualify for all or some of these items. This means breast pumps, pregnancy support bands, post partum garments, compression socks and positioning pillows. If you are a Tricare beneficiary, Military Mommies is your one-stop-shop for all of your durable medical equipment. A good pump that meets your needs is pretty much a must have, especially when you are in the military. You can do it! I also want to encourage you to set yourself up for success. I want you to nurse your baby, pump for your baby, hand express and spoon or syringe feed your baby. Now, I am not telling you this to discourage you from breast feeding. And my boobs were chapped, blistered and I wanted to cry just thinking of pumping or nursing. I pumped in bathroom stalls with this huge, loud, monstrous contraption and I was hurting. I was an active duty mom, a cook that was required to be away from her baby once it turned 6 weeks old. I would have also been informed that all I needed to do was ask someone for help. I would have known that there are resources available to us. Had I done my due diligence, I would have known that breastfeeding can be pretty challenging. Someone had donated me a used Medela Pump in Style Tote and I figured that I was set. I just assumed breastfeeding would be easy and that is the mindset I had going into our very bumpy breastfeeding journey. When I expected my first child, NOBODY talked about how I would feed this little miracle once it was delivered safely into my arms. May sound like a weird obsession but I assure you, I have good reason. I am super passionate about breast pumps.
