A few months ago, I wrote a blog post about my breastfeeding experience with Marlowe.  It had several things to say, but was mostly about how much I hated pumping.  Well, turns out I was using the wrong pump!  Now the breastfeeding landscape has gotten major facelift, thanks to an uber-fabulous product designed by a mom of three! OF COURSE a mom designed this game-changer (why are moms so industrious and amazing?!) Janica Alvarez was just a mom who wanted to provide breast milk for her baby when she went back to work.  But she was frustrated with her breast pump (age old story), its lack of output, its noisiness, and its general weight and clunkiness.  So like any pioneer woman, she got busy and created a solution.  Luckily, Janica’s husband Jeff is a medical device engineer and was able to bring her vision to life!  Together they cofounded the awesomeness that is Naya Health.  The Naya Smart Breast Pump is not only totally gorgeous to look at (important), light (only three pounds!), but it is also high performance in every way. The pump uses patented HydroComfort Technology™ to create a suction that is even stronger, and quieter, than hospital grade pumps! The pump’s flanges, however, are made of a soft silicone.  What do you get when you add these things together? A greater output of milk (Hallelujah!) with much more comfort to your nipples (DOUBLE HALLELUJAH!). The Naya is also the first “smart pump” out there, meaning that it is connected to a Naya companion app  that monitors your pumping and can offer support geared specifically to you and your needs.

I think my personal favorite part of the Naya pumping system is a feature that is a dead giveaway to the fact that a woman dreamt it up­– the chicer than chic white carrying case!  It looks like an insanely stylish purse– I actually laughed out loud when I saw it for the first time because I couldn’t believe how nice it was.  The entire vibe of the Naya Smart Breast Pump is one of an experience created by a woman for women, and celebrating the things that we ladies who are pumping find important.  We want to feel like WOMEN– not like cows, with something tugging sluggishly on our udders.  We want a lovely, comfortable, discreet, and successful experience, and we want to make it snappy.  Because we have things to do, children to raise, board rooms to slay, and empires to conquer.  And sometimes we need to take our Naya pump parts out of our carrying case and use it as our regular purse…did I say that out loud?

Now that it’s so easy to pump, please excuse me while I very easily Pump-And-Dump– a favorite activity! Ha!  Something tells me that Janica would approve…

Oh, and just when I thought I couldn’t love this company any more, they created a hilarious video about just how different (ahem) things would be if men could breast feed.  Check out this cheeky take on pumping in the workplace– and let me know if you can relate! I only wish that Kyle could lactate a little bit..and deal with those late-night feeds.  Now if another pioneer woman would please step up to the plate and tackle that issue, I think we would all greatly appreciate it…anyone?  Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Don’t look at me, I’m on my second glass of sparkling Rosé…
