Now that I am nursing my second baby, I have been a lot more relaxed in my approach to breastfeeding. I am happy to say that so far this approach has served us both well, and going into month 5 of nursing baby number 2 is going well. I nursed my son until he was about 14 months, and I would have loved to have had the Simple Wishes Breast Pump Bustier last time around as well.
About the Simple Wishes Bustier
The hands-free Bustier is ultra-comfortable, supportive, simple to use and easy to size. Simple Wishes makes pumping easier, convenient, and more productive. It allows for multi-tasking while pumping, and allows mom to return to work with peace of mind.
My Experience
The Simple Wishes Bustier arrived and I was eager to try it out during my nightly pumping session. I have to say that when I got pregnant with baby number two, I really wanted to get a new pump, as mine was on its last leg. I decided to go with a high-end and rather expensive pump for its portability and hands free option. While I love the pump for the fact that it is battery operated, the hands free part of it is really kind of a pain to hook up. Maybe if I was using it 4 or 5 times a day as a working mom, I would be better at it. But, the few times I have attempted it, I find it more of a hassle than it’s worth. After trying the Simple Wishes Bustier, I now know, if going hands-free were my only concern, this is the way to go! A lot cheaper, and easier to convert any electric pump into hands free.
First of all, I was really impressed with how clearly everything was labeled and the instructions for adjusting the bustier for your size. It is able to be adjusted so easily, which is such a great feature since nursing moms know that you change sizes all the time! The straps can be worn in four different ways, I chose not to use them at all. Once I got pumping I sat down to a 15 minute session on the computer while I pumped away. It was so easy to set up, and I was able to get about as much milk as I normally do in the same time frame when I don’t go hands free. I actually went a little longer because I got caught up on the computer! If you are a working mom, or a mom who is pumping and bottle feeding, this is something you could definitely use. The seal was tight, nothing felt like it was moving, and there was no leaking anywhere.

To Buy or Not to Buy
To Buy… If pumping is a part of your daily routine, several times a day, you will really love using the Simple Wishes Breast Pump Bustier. It will allow you to continue to work, eat your lunch, answer emails, or just relax with a cup of decaf-all while pumping for your little one.
Or Not to Buy… The only downside with this is I am someone who needs to use breast compressions squeeze out those last few drops of milk towards the end of a pumping session, and it is hard to do that with this on. Easy to work around though bu simply ending the pumping session without the bustier.
