Yes absolutely! The Night Owl wearable pumps were designed to fit any breast size.

You can absolutely use The Night Owl wearable breast pumps to exclusively pump. Our pumps are designed to cater to the diverse needs of breastfeeding mothers, including those who choose to exclusively pump. Please keep in mind not all wearable breast pumps on the market are suitable for exclusive pumping.

We understand the importance of a reliable and efficient pump for exclusively pumping, and we're here to reassure you that our pumps are up to the task both performance and durability wise. These pumps have been carefully crafted with a focus on motor performance, comfort and durability, ensuring a consistent and effective pumping experience.

It is a common misconception that ALL wearable breast pumps are not "as good" as other pumps as they "aren't strong enough". Although this may be true for some, this isn't true in our case. The strength in our wearable pump motors is actually higher than most average breast pumps out there in the market.

For exclusive pumping, we highly recommend the Original Night Owl V2 and Mumma Owl models.

These stand out due to their advanced motor performance. The powerful suction (hospital grade level) capabilities and customisable settings make them well-suited for
extended pumping sessions, providing comfort and efficiency for those who choose to exclusively pump.

The advanced motor technology and higher suction levels in the recommended models for exclusive pumping (Original Night Owl V2 and Mumma Owl) allows for efficient milk expression, reducing pumping time while maintaining comfort and freedom. Customisable settings provide flexibility to adapt
to your specific needs, ensuring a personalised and effective pumping
routine for exclusive pumping mums.

Absolutely. All night owl pumps are built to withstand long-term, frequent use. We prioritise durability and quality to ensure that your pumping journey remains smooth and reliable over time.

The Night Owl Original V2 pump operates at up 300 mmHg which is in line with larger Hospital Grade pumps. There's 12 levels of suction however the maximum level doesn't necessarily mean a higher milk output. It's very rare that our mums actually use the pump to the maximum suction level as it is very strong - the most important thing is having the right size flange, how the modes are used and how comfortable you are!

No absolutely not! The Night Owl pumps have a lot of levels to choose from, so the suction power is split up comfortably - that way you can easily tailor to your personal comfort level. The most gentle of the 3 is the Mumma Owl, however all are gentle as we've designed them to be.

If it 'hurts' that means you either have the level up too high, or an incorrect size.

Although there aren't any official standards in Australia for what 'hospital grade' is defined as - hospital grade suction is generally classified as 300-350 mmHg in the world of breast pumps. Our Mumma Owl and Original Night Owl V2 measure at 300mmHg so they're more than powerful enough, and YES they fall into the 'hospital grade' category.

There's also a significant number of levels of suction, however the maximum level doesn't necessarily mean a higher milk output. It's very rare that our mums actually use the pump to the maximum suction level as it is very strong - the most important thing is having the right size flange, how the modes are used and how comfortable you are!

It's important to consider whether you're purchasing a pump with an 'open' or 'closed' system.

All of our night owl pumps have a 'closed system'. This means that there is a barrier between the parts that touch your breast milk, and the pump motor. This is called the back flow protector, or i.e. the diaphragm.

A closed system is important as it prevents your breast milk from being contaminated.
​
If a pump has an 'open system' this means that they do not have barriers between the parts that touch your breast milk and the tubing, pump motor etc. This allows moisture from pumping to enter any tubing or the motor, where there is the risk of being hidden mould, which will then come into contact with your breast milk - therefore contaminating it and making it unsafe for your baby to drink.
