It may seem silly to some, but if you have ever heard a baby scream and cry, you know that even 1 minute can make or break your sanity! You can set up five different bottles that you may give throughout the day and night for it to save. It also alerts you when water or formula is running low.

Motif Luna Double Electric Breast Pump: This pump is a great double electric breast pump! 5 out of 6 moms said that the Luna gave them “more milk in less time” than the leading pump brands. It features many additional features like the Expression Mode that expresses milk from the breast as efficiently as possible, Massage Mode that helps stimulate let-down by mimicking a baby’s nursing pattern, and an Auto Shut-Off that turns the pump off after 30 minutes of use. We know we’re not the only ones who have dozed off during a pumping session. The Luna only requires a simple setup and has easy customization options, so you can quickly find what works great for you and your baby. We also like that it’s lightweight and weighs 2 pounds.
