Thinking About Breastfeeding: Check Out the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Single Electric Breast Pump Review & Giveaway!

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Single Electric Breast Pump System
There are many advantages to breastfeeding. Aside from the bond between mother and baby that is established during this interaction, breastfeeding has many health benefits. Breastfeeding can protect baby from illnesses, allergies, and infections. There are many benefits for mom including but not limited to lower stress levels, possible protection from breast and ovarian cancers, as well as postpartum weight loss.

I breastfed my firstborn son from the day he was born until he was about six months-old. Now I am on baby number two and I have been breastfeeding him since the day he was born. He is getting ready to hit the six month mark this week and I am hoping that this time around I am able to breastfeed a lot longer than I was able to with my firstborn.

When I was given the opportunity to review the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Single Electric Breast Pump System, I jumped at the chance! I was in the market for a new portable breast pump that I could use when I was out and about without my baby. Although I am blessed to be a stay at home mother, there are times when I am out running errand or visiting family and friends and I am unable to breastfeed my son. When these situations arise, I need a portable breast pump that I can use on the go to pump and save my breast milk.

Once I opened the box and took out the pump and accessories, I was immediately a fan of the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Single Electric Breast Pump System. After taking it with me on a trip or two out of town and testing it out at home, my initial reaction did not waver. I love this breast pump! It is easy to use, comfortable, compact, and portable.

What we love about the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Single Electric Breast Pump System:
·    My favorite feature of this system is the soft silicone cups. Having a cup that is soft and flexible makes all the difference when pumping. This cup is comfortable and flexes for a fantastic fit.
·    This pump is portable and extremely light weight. I can be used with an outlet at home or it can be used with batteries when on the go. It is small and can be easily carted around in the plastic box that is included with the purchase of the system.
·    The settings are adjustable. There are four settings available, each with different levels of suction. This makes pumping that much easier. Not everyone is the same and not every baby eats the same way, so why should there be only one suction setting when pumping? There shouldn’t. Having the capability to change things up is fabulous.
·    This breast pump is easy to clean. You take apart everything that has touched breast milk and place it in the steri-box. Then you add water and heat the steri-box in the microwave and viola! Everything is sterilized and ready to go for next time.
·    You don’t have to ever transfer your breast milk from one container to another in order to save and store it. You have the option of pumping directly into the storage container and placing that storage container directly in the freezer or in a bottle. This is great! I don’t lose any of my breast milk in transit.
·    This package comes with everything you need to get started! With the pump, the steri-box, a bottle, and two storage containers with lids this system is ready to use right out of the box.

I am a definitely a fan of this breast pump. I love that I can plug it into an outlet and use it at home or pop in batteries and take with me when I am on the go. This is a lightweight portable all-in-one breast pump, and I would highly recommend it for breast feeding moms.
