Unimom Forte Breast Pump-Hospital Grade

I have the unimom forte and absolutely love it. It was great to be able to double pump to help my milk come through and adjust the suction pressure using a simple dial. The pieces of the pump are easy to put together and one particular thing I like is that you can pump directly into the storage bags ...makes it easy with no fuss.

Five years ago, I found myself with low milk supply as I struggled to establish breastfeeding. The lactation consultant set me onto a regular schedule of pumping as well as feeding to build up my supply. This was obviously a stressful situation for a new mum who’d never looked into options for breast pumps before! I had some disappointing experiences with other brands, struggling with technical issues and pumps that simply didn’t work as well as advertised. (I didn’t really want one of the first times I left my newborn at home with family to be a rushed trip to Famers at 8pm to exchange a faulty unit, and yet….) Finally someone recommended Unimom, and it worked brilliantly – the Forte was both affordable and as advertised a ‘hospital-grade’ double pump which did the most important thing: it simply worked. It was great knowing that I had a reliable machine to help.

Pump that is handy if being both sides to be expressed at the same time

.Best pump I've tried. Easy to assemble use clean and transport

This pump is the best! My son had a stage 5 lip tie so couldn’t breast feed properly. I tried to persevere even gritting thru the pain of him trying to feed. Once my midwife said he wasn’t putting on weight I knew I had to do something. Sat there with a hand pump and got 30mls after an hour. My mum was like ok this is ridiculous, I’m going to the Lactation consultant to get the one I saw there the other day. My mum brought this back for me and we were on a role! Being diabetic it was hard to get a milk supply but once I started pumping and Lactation cookies I was getting 180mls per breast! After a couple of formula feeds (after I found out he wasn’t gaining weight)and giving me time to pump the necessary amount I was able to give my son breast milk until he was 5months old. This machine was a lifesaver and I highly recommended it.

This pump saved me when I needed to go to work I had pre pumped plenty of milk for the freezer. It's simple to use and easy to clean used the switch kit a lot too for when I was away working 10+hour days with no electricity. Will be bringing it out again in a few weeks with baby number two! A++++

Its so easy to adjust the suction with just one dial

Fantastic pump. Was using avent pump several times daily for 4 1/2 months from when my son was born. I have a rather average supply and found I was getting only 20-40mls combined per pump. When my son wasn't putting on enough weight, I was advised I needed to provide more supplementary expressed bottle feeds in conjunction with breastfeeding but couldn't get enough to do so. This pump has changed my expressing time and cut it down dramatically. I get atleast 40mls per side minimum, but usually around 60-90mls each side when I pump and am getting enough sometimes for the two bottles a day for my son aswell as one to put in the freezer. It has taken so much stress out of expressing and is allowing me to still continue breastfeeding, rather than having to give up my breastfeeding journey straight away. I wish I had brought this one first. The only thing I disliked about this pumps were the cushions - it's a shame they don't come with the 27mm flanges.

I used 2 other (companies) breast pumps with my no. 1 that were quite expensive and recommended this pump to a friend who couldn't afford an expensive pump. With my no.2 who was born in January with a cleft palate, I was advised by a lactation consultant to buy a hospital grade pump.Initially I was given a hospital grade pump by Middlemore hospital, but that caused cracked nipples even at it's lowest(suction) setting. Then I bought this was and to my astonishment, this turned out to be the BEST pump I ever bought. When I spoke to Leah about my situation and some other requirements, not only did she help me with finding a great option, she provided the best customer support I've ever received in New Zealand ( of all the products I bought online). The breast pump is great for mums who want to exclusively pump. Of all the pumps I've used, I'm able to express a lot more milk using this one. My daughter is 17 weeks today and I've been using this pump since she was 4 weeks old. And I'm able to pump between 1400-1500 ml every day using this pump. I highly recommend this pump and using the team's services.
