As a first-time mum, it was hard when engorgement hit me like a truck on day three pp. My boobs were rock hard, and my little bub couldn't latch. The stress, the pain, the guilt, it was all too real. We quickly spiralled into a cycle of bottle preference, and I realised if I wanted to continue with breastmilk, pumping was the only way. That’s when Bubka saved my journey!
The pumps helped me empty my breasts, regulating my supply and, crucially, kept the milk flowing. The "hands-free" meant I could still cuddle, rock, and play with my baby while pumping.
We took a big trip overseas, and this pump was a lifesaver. With a power bank I could charge it anywhere, including multiple times on the long-haul flights and during all-day outings. It kept my supply consistent despite the time zones and travel fatigue. Jet lag confused my bub and at 9 months he was back at my boob during the day and nights but preferred a bottle when outside or with dad. So I kept pumping.
I recently went back to the office. I can pump 4 times a day while working at my desk or commuting, ensuring my supply is strong for daycare.
If you’re a mum struggling with latch issues, bottle preference, or time constraints, this pump is worth every single penny.
It didn't just make pumping easier; it’s the reason I’m still on this journey after 16 months.
Five stars for flexibility, discretion and a whole lot of expressed milk!
Also, the owners are fantastic and truly supportive.
