S9 breast pump1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() Myth: You should separate a newborn and mother to let the mother rest.ĭoctors, nurses and midwives often encourage the practice of ‘skin-to-skin’ – also known as kangaroo mother care – immediately after birth. The nipples produce a substance that the baby smells and has ‘good bacteria’ that helps to build babies’ own healthy immune system for life.Ĥ. When babies are born, they are already very familiar with their own mother’s smells and sounds. Washing your nipples before breastfeeding isn’t necessary. Myth: You should wash your nipples before breastfeeding. If a mother faces breastfeeding challenges like sore nipples, support from a lactation consultant or other skilled professional can help them overcome the issue.ģ. But with the right support with positioning their baby for breastfeeding and making sure their baby is correctly attached to the breast, sore nipples can be avoided. Many mothers experience discomfort in the first few days after birth when they are learning to breastfeed. Myth: It’s usual for breastfeeding to hurt – sore nipples are inevitable. Breastfeeding is also time intensive, so mothers need space and support at home and work.Ģ. Breastfeeding takes time and practice for both mothers and babies. However, many mothers need practical support with positioning their baby for breastfeeding and making sure their baby is correctly attached to the breast. But for your everyday regular pump that you're logging a lot of hours in, the S2 takes the cake with that.Babies are born with the reflex to look for their mother’s breast. Portability wise the 9 plus wins hands-down. Bottom line: powerful wise, I'd say these pumps are both comparable. ![]() It is sooooo handy to go out and about with and not having to worry about finding an outlet.which is exactly why I got it to take with me on quick weekend trips (I have a couple girls' weekends coming up!), weddings we're snapping (cause I can't go 9+ hours without pumping!), or any conferences away from school. The 9 plus definitely wins for portability - it's TINY and like a thick iPhone! Super portable and you can get about 4-5 20 minute sessions out of it on one charge (it takes the same charging cable as the S2). And you can use them both as a single or double pump by closing off the other valve with the closing clasp. The S2 is definitely quieter than the 9 plus, but they're both still not very loud. However, I got the same output with the 9 plus despite lack of control speed so I guess it was okay! I pumped today using the 9 plus and got 9.5 ounces, so I'd say production and output wise the 9 plus is the same as the S2! One thing I think the S2 beats the 9 plus about is that you can control the speed and suction with the 9 plus you can only control the suction. I always pump with my S2 after I feed Annie at lunchtime once I put her down for her nap and usually get around 8-10oz. However, these two are definitely comparable. I don't think it would last very long as being an everyday pump and I don't think it was meant to be more than an occasional use pump. The probably most important thing with the 9 plus is that it is a portable pump - meaning it's great to take with you to pump on the go, but should not be used as your regular everyday pump. So there are my biggest observations about the S2 and 9 plus. ![]() Should not be used as your all the time everyday pump TINY size of a thick iPhone & super portableĬan be used and abused multiple times a day Size of a small watermelon about 3 pounds Powerful suction that is gentle on the girlsĬan use as a single or double electric pump ![]() A lot of what I wrote about the S2 applies also to the 9 plus (closed system, bigger bottles, digital display, etc.) however there are some differences that I thought I'd easily highlight in a handy-dandy little chart below.Ĭlosed system (aka doesn't allow water/moisture/milk into the tubes and pump) As much as I appreciate them, I wanted to test drive the 9 plus myself and give my two-cents on it as well. Okay! So I've read a few reviews out there about these two pumps and some comparison ones. A special thanks, as always, to the world's most cooperative dog Scooter for helping me create these eye-catchy snaps for this post.cause no one wants to see me in that position when they could see Scoots, right?! ![]()
