A passive system that is affordable, easy to use, and doesn't require hand pumping, but isn't very efficient yank off the white connectors that are at the end of the short tubing running from the "y valve" (i.e., remove the white pieces that connect the tubing to the Buddha collection parts).

The P9 is Spectra's portable pump. I've never used or even seen an S9 in person. Common consensus among those who have both the S1 or S2 and the P9 is, however, that the P9 is less powerful and yields less than the S1/S2. I and others have experienced that the Baby Buddha is more effective and efficient than the S1/S2, so it stands to reason that the Baby Buddhais more efficient than the P9.

These risks include the transmission of infectious diseases … the FDA believes that the proper cleaning and sterilization of breast pumps requires the removal of any fluid that has entered the pumping mechanism itself. If proper sterilization of the breast pump cannot be achieved, the FDA recommends not using it by different mothers. — FDA

The Medela Harmony Manual pump is a simple, affordable, compact pumping system that is a great companion piece to an electric pump for occasional use, like date night or overnights away from your baby. Alternatively, you may not require an electric pump at all. In that case, the Harmony can be convenient to have on hand for plugged ducts or engorgement. When your baby is on solids and down to one to two nursing sessions a day, it is also helpful for longer periods between feedings to release pressure and help with discomfort. Compared to the other manual pumps on the market, the Medela has a unique "two-phase expression," very similar to many electric pumps in this review. This feature is excellent in a manual pump as it makes pumping more comfortable without an instant sharp tug that can be very painful. The kit includes one 5 oz bottle with a stand and two 24mm PersonalFit flexible breast flanges. Freemie Liberty II: Freemie has been offering hands-free options for a long time. This is one of their flagship pumps. Fitme Inserts – These are created by Freemies, and the inserts go from 15mm all the way up to 26mm. The strength and the mixed mode suction give me reason to caution people to be aware of the risks here, but overall, this is a solid performing portable pump. I think there are pros and cons to all the options. Obviously, with Willow and Elvie, they are a lot more expensive. However, they are completely cord-free and tube-free.

You might wonder why you would want to do this – and it’s simply because many people find they like the parts they are more comfortable with but they want to pair them with the power of the BabyBuddha.The massage / stimulation pattern takes some getting used to. It massages for a few seconds and then does a really long pull. It can be quite jarring if you aren't expecting it. It took me a while to get used to, and for weeks I'd kind of wince in anticipation of that first long pull but I got used to it. Company Recommended Settings
