Momcozy Breast Pump - A New Trend for Busy Breastfeeding Moms

1. Origin of Momcozy Breast Pump

Momcozy breast pump is a new product in the Vietnamese market that is drawing attention from many breastfeeding moms due to its wireless, tubeless, super lightweight design, long-lasting battery, and convenient hands-free operation. It is a product of the US brand Momcozy. Established in 2017, Momcozy is a brand specializing in products for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. The brand offers a variety of products such as breast pumps, milk warmers, maternity bras, and other maternity essentials.

This new type of hands-free breast pump has received positive reviews from breastfeeding moms in Europe and North America. It has also topped the best-selling list on Amazon multiple times.

2. Design of Momcozy Breast Pump – Compact and Elegant

Weighing only 230g, the Momcozy breast pump boasts a compact design, being as light as 2/3 of conventional hands-free breast pumps. Its tubeless and cordless design allows discreet wearing under nursing attire, enabling mothers to work and socialize seamlessly in any situation.

The Momcozy hands-free breast pump consists of basic components including:

• Massage suction funnel: Made of silicone and BPA-free, this part directly contacts the breast surface, providing safe and comfortable milk expression. Its snug fit massages the breast to alleviate discomfort while stimulating milk flow. Available in common sizes: 15mm, 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 24mm.
• Breast milk collection cup: Made of PP plastic, with capacities ranging from 120ml to 180ml depending on the model.
• Breast pump unit: Exterior made of plastic with an LED screen to monitor settings, battery life, and control buttons for suction modes. Internally, it comprises components such as the motor, membrane, check valve, pressure relief valve, etc., working together to mimic the suckling action of a baby, maximizing milk expression while promoting faster milk flow.
• USB cable, storage bag: Used for charging when the battery is low and for storing the breast pump when not in use.

Depending on the model, the Momcozy hands-free breast pump is designed with 2-3 modes and 9 different suction levels. It can be used on one or both breasts simultaneously. The 3 common modes include milk expression, massage, and a combination of both. Mothers can easily select the appropriate suction levels according to their preference for gentle or strong milk expression.

The pump's automatic cycle begins with massage to stimulate milk letdown before transitioning to the expression mode, reducing engorgement and breast discomfort. The gentle suction combined with massage mimics direct breastfeeding, resulting in a comfortable and efficient milk expression experience for mothers. With low noise levels below 50dB, placing the pump next to a sleeping baby won't disturb their rest.

Furthermore, the pump's versatile design includes a rechargeable battery, allowing mothers to charge directly from a power outlet or via USB Type-C connection with a power bank or computer. Momcozy offers a wide range of color options including blue, gray, pink, white, red, etc., providing mothers with ample choices to suit their preferences.

3. Evaluation of Momcozy Breast Pump Quality

Not only standing out in design, the Momcozy breast pump is highly praised by many breastfeeding mothers for its quality.

3.1. Safety, Non-toxic

As mentioned earlier, the Momcozy hands-free breast pump is made from soft, skin-friendly silicone. The suction funnel is cushioned with silicone, providing a comfortable pumping experience without causing discomfort or soreness, resulting in increased milk output.

The quality of a breast pump indirectly affects the health of the baby, so if the materials used are not good, it can impact the baby's milk supply. Momcozy products are BPA-free, ensuring no irritation to both the mother's skin and the baby's tender mouth and skin.

3.2. Multiple Functions, Increased Durability

Momcozy equips its products with interesting features depending on the model:

• Vibration for faster milk pumping - This feature is equipped on the Momcozy M5 breast pump.
• Timer function, special expression mode, and Bluetooth connectivity with smartphones for remote control - These are features found on the Momcozy S12 Pro breast pump series.
• Battery life display upgrade on LED screen - A special feature on the Momcozy S9 Pro breast pump series.

Compared to touch screens, LED screens and physical buttons have longer durability. In addition to model-specific features, Momcozy also incorporates a memory function capable of remembering the mother's last settings. Once fully charged, the pump can be used all day for 7-9 pumping sessions/day. During use, the noise level is below 50dB, ensuring it doesn't disturb the baby's sleep or the mother's office work.

3.3. Momcozy Breast Pump Prices in the Current Market

Currently, Momcozy hands-free breast pumps are priced between $64.99 - $119.99, equivalent to approximately 1,596,804 - 2,948,154 Vietnamese Dong. This price range is slightly higher than some similar pumps originating from China with similar functions. However, it is cheaper or equivalent to hands-free breast pumps from famous brands in the Vietnamese market at the current time.

4. How to Use Momcozy Breast Pump

• Plug in the breast pump unit to ensure optimal operation. Charging time takes approximately 130 minutes.
• Disassemble Momcozy hands-free breast pump components for cleaning and sterilization for 10 minutes, then air dry before use.
• Assemble the breast pump according to the accompanying instructions, then attach the breast milk collection cup to the breast.
• Select the milk expression mode and adjust the level according to your preference.
• Turn off the pump when finished and pour the expressed milk into a storage container for the next feeding or for future use.

5. Standard Cleaning Procedure for Momcozy Hands-Free Breast Pump

• Before and after each use, mothers should disassemble and clean the breast pump components that come into contact with breast milk at a temperature of 25-30°C and sterilize them for 3-5 minutes.
• Use hot water at around 60°C for sterilization. Do not use temperatures of 100°C for sterilization.
• Be careful when cleaning the valve and silicone membrane, as damage to these parts can cause the pump to malfunction.
• Replace the silicone membrane regularly every 1-3 months of use.

Overall, while hands-free breast pumps are well-known in the market, they can still be bulky and inconvenient to use. With a more compact, elegant design and numerous modern features, Momcozy is becoming the new trend chosen by many Vietnamese breastfeeding mothers.
