I never thought I’d be a formula mom. I wanted to breastfeed. I tried to breastfeed. After reading all the research about breastmilk, I told myself that I had to do it for my baby! I approached motherhood the way I approached my career: with a LOT of research. But one thing I didn't know that might happen: My body didn’t cooperate. I had a low supply, and no pump seemed to help me in keeping my demanding job and breastfeeding at the same time. My lactation consultant said, “Just keep pumping every time you can at work.” I did. I pumped 8 times a day, and still, I didn't have enough. I felt like I demanded something of my body that it simply couldn't do. One evening, I was scrolling through a breastfeeding group when I saw a post about Annabella. A mom described exactly what I was going through – pumping failures, frustration, and guilt – and how this pump changed everything for her. I’d heard about Annabella before, I just didn't know it was on the market yet. I had nothing to lose. I ordered it. I didn't notice much difference in the first session except for the feeling. It felt much better than all the other pumps, and I didn't even have to use the maximum power. After two or three days, it worked! I could see the difference. The amount of milk kept increasing every day. Within two weeks, my supply increased so much that I could switch from supplementing with formula to exclusively giving my own milk. I’m not saying it’s magic, but for me, it was. To any mom who feels like she’s failing: You’re not! Whatever you do is great. But based on my experience, if you struggle with pumping, try the Annabella. It’s gentle, it feels natural, and it worked for me.

I quit breastfeeding twice! But not this time… I wish I had known about Annabella sooner. With my first baby, pumping was a nightmare. The hospital pump hurt so much that I’d be shaking by the time I was done. I thought that was just how pumping was supposed to be: painful, exhausting, and barely effective. So I quit after six weeks. When I got pregnant again, I told myself that this time, it would be different! But it wasn't. Now that I think about it, why would it be? With my third child, I thought I wouldn’t even try to pump. But then my sister-in-law gave me an Annabella as a gift. “Just try it,” she said. So I did. And I was shocked. No pain. No discomfort. Just gentle, natural-feeling suction – and actual milk output. Within days, I had a real supply. I’m now three months into breastfeeding and pumping, and I love it. I never thought I’d say that, but it’s true. I only wish I found Annabella sooner. If you’re struggling, don’t wait as long as I did!
