Although I had to go back to work when my baby was only 8 weeks old, I was committed to exclusively breastfeeding her for at least a year. The lack of support was amazing – “just give her formula,” “breast milk isn’t satisfying,” “don’t you think it’s weird that she’s 6 months old and still on your boob?” Despite all the negativity I received from friends, colleagues, and family, I did it. I pumped for an entire year to give my baby the best possible nutrition I could give her.
I had a very close love/hate relationship with my breast-pump. It did what it needed to do, but I’m a multi-tasker by nature. I couldn’t sit still for 15 minutes every 4 hours and not do something. When I was home, I tried to use the computer while pumping. When I was at work, I would write up lesson plans or grade papers while pumping. I can’t say that I never accidentally dropped my precious liquid gold. I knew that the pump I got had a hands free upgrade, but I didn’t realize that there were other accessories out there that I could use with my pump to help me multi-task better.
The Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bra helps you pump and multitask! I know – the picture may be offsetting at first, but think of all those times you tried to answer your phone or complete an email while you were pumping. To be honest, while my little girl nursed on one side, I would pump the other. This helped me get the most out of my pumping session, as I had a stronger let down of milk while she was on me. A hands free option would have been very welcomed! Depending on what you do at work – the Simple Wishes can help you be more productive and even allow you to extend your pumping session if you have to. You can work at your desk and do whatever you need to do, all while the pump does its job and Simple Wishes holds it in place.
I lent the Simple Wishes bra to my cousin who is currently pumping. She is a stay at home mom, but found the hands free system to be very useful in taking the boredom out of her pumping sessions. At just $39 and two sizes and colors to choose from, you really can’t go wrong trying out Simple Wishes to see if it helps you get the most out of your pumping sessions. All Simple Wishes bras come with a 1 year warranty against defects in the material. Simple Wishes wants you to be happy, so if you are not satisfies for any reason, you have 3o days to return or exchange the bra. You have nothing to lose!

Anything that would make breastfeeding a little easier is worth a shot to me.
Sleeping is probably the best way to breast pump
Anything to keep your mind off it!

We are hoping to avoid it with this baby boy due in May, but with DD it was great to be able to hold her while pumping when she was in the NICU. It was great for bonding and really helped increase my supply.
Make phone calls, nurse on the other side, read, skype my friends overseas, or surf the web.
I shared it on twitter and facebook!
I read and skype while pumping for my preemie 🙂
I’m due with my first in March so I haven’t had to pump milk yet – but if I had the Simple Wishes I am sure it would help me get more done! I could pump milk while I do work on the computer, or read, or hold the baby!

I always tried to read while pumping, but it’s so hard to handle the book, page turns, and then the pump — this would make things easier 🙂 ngiraldi at gmail dot com
Nothing
i read while i pump
This would be great for my daughter with a 3 yr old having hands free would be a help with him.
I pick up a magazine or a book and read – it feels faster that way!
While not a task, but a pleasure, I love to read.

I read a book or check out the computer. Thanks so much for the fantastic giveaway!
