Lansinoh: Signature Pro Double Electric Breast Pump {Review}

*Disclaimer - I received the product in this post and am reviewing it for Lansinoh, in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

Are you currently pregnant or planning on nursing and pumping? Then, keep reading this review to learn more about this pump from Lansinoh.
I have a different pump that I received from my insurance, but this one is a lot better in my opinion! I had originally bought this pump while I was pregnant, and then sold it when I found out that I could get one through my insurance. Well, I received this one and opened it to find that it's really simple to use and it's not at all hard to figure out the settings, tubing, or let down portion of the pump. 

This pump is called the Signature Pro Double Electric Breast Pump and is $116.98 on Walmart's website. This pump is a really nice one, and the sound is very slim as it's a pretty quiet pump unlike many others that have a loud motor. This pump has 3 customizable pump settings for you to use. The pump's flanges are very soft to the touch, unlike some that are just hard plastic. I'll be using this pump from now on to make our son's bottles for night feeding.

This pump has a two phase technology that begins with a 2 minute stimulation phase that assists with let down. It will automatically switch to expression phase, or you can choose to switch earlier with a touch of a button. This pump is truly a great one, and the reason I say this is because with my other pump, it can take up to 3 minutes to get all of the milk to flow to the bottle; with this pump there's a button you can press that will express the milk and push the milk through to the bottle fairly quickly. I usually have to pump for 5 minutes to get 3 oz, but it only took 2 minutes or so for me to get 3 oz. I wish I would have kept the original one I bought before, because this one will get more milk out for me in a faster time than it has in the past 4 1/2 months.

Our son is breastfed and is 4 1/2 months old, so he hasn't used any store brand formula.

With our older two as babies, they had formula and tried Parents Choice a couple of times. Our first son was born premature, so he needed a formula to help him gain weight in the beginning and then he tried Parents Choice a couple times. It was easy on his stomach and pretty cheap, as it's a store brand. I would recommend it for formula fed babies.

How to Deal with Stress with a Newborn

I was asked by a reader to do a blog post about how to deal with stress with a newborn. Well, with my third as he's my youngest I have not had much stress honestly. It's a big change compared to what I did deal with when our 1st and 2nd were babies.
