Thinking About a Wearable Breast Pump—But Not Sure If It’s Actually a Good Idea?


If you’re pregnant or postpartum and wondering whether a wearable breast pump is worth the investment… this episode breaks it all down so you can make a decision that aligns with your breastfeeding goals.


In this episode of Breastfeeding With Confidence, I’m sharing the real pros and cons of wearable breast pumps—without the hype or the influencer noise.


Here’s what we cover:




  • Who wearable pumps are actually great for




  • Why they’re not usually ideal as a primary pump




  • How one mom used hers to increase milk supply while combo feeding




  • What you must know before buying one




  • My take on popular brands like Momcozy, Baby Buddha, and more




  • And why even the fanciest pump can’t replace skilled support + good strategy




Whether you’re struggling to make exclusive breastfeeding work or just want a little more flexibility without compromising your supply—this episode will help you decide if a wearable pump fits into your feeding plan.
