Hi, im new here, im due on the 7th of September and I wanted to buy a momcozy breast pump but unsure what one best and it says about flange sizes would love some advice please

Honestly @stephnbonnie I'd wait until baby is here and you've established some feeding.

Unless baby is ill it's not really advised to pump in the first few weeks anyway.

If you start going to some local BFing Support Groups before baby arrives you should be able to chat to the Mums about which pumps they use and how they find them. Plus you'll get to meet some Mums and Mums to Be before baby arrives

Thanks you apprchiate ur reply x

No problem

If you want to get prepared, which is understandable, there are plenty of other things you can do:

Start going to your local BFing groups I liked above.

Put the numbers for the BFing Helplines in your phone.

Read these articles on preparing to Breastfeed.

Get your DP/DH to read this on supporting BFing Mothers.

And I found the book Babycalming very helpful too

Im an exclusive pumper (8 months in) and I have 2 momcozys, the M5 and V1 and while both are decent now that i have regulated they are absolutely useless. I use my spectra S1 for all of my pumps (down to 4 a day so not too time consuming) and I would 100% recommend it. Im gathering you plan to nurse aswell from your response and pump to build a bit of a stash alongside nursing. My S1 was £160, momcozy M5 double was £150 and V1 double was £130 (on offer) so prices are comparable but I get double from my spectra in half the time of the momcozys.

Thank u everyone I wil be looking into it as due soon

How exciting! Have you found the Infant Feeding Section yet? You should get some support in there, no matter how you decide to feed your baby
