Iโ€™m a first-time mom in my forties, so adjusting to life with a baby has been a journey. One thing I knew I wanted to do was breastfeed my son, whoโ€™s now six months old. I also knew Iโ€™d be combo-feeding, meaning nursing and bottle-feeding formula.

Iโ€™m a working freelance writer and copywriting business ownerโ€”so I had two weeks of real maternity leave. The rest of the time, Iโ€™m taking care of my son and working from home with help from my wonderful part-time nanny.

Absolutely integral to making this all work? A solid breast pump that worked for me and my lifestyle. After dealing with the cumbersome pump I received from the hospital (and its many, many parts) exactly one time before throwing in the towel, I realized a wearable, hands-free breast pump was absolutely worth the investment.

Once I went wearable, I never went back.

I first purchased an older version of Momcozyโ€™s wearable pump and then upgraded to the M6 when the brand reached out to me. While I liked the older version, the new and improved M6 has officially wowed me for many reasons.

For busy moms like me who prioritize convenience and appreciate discretion while pumping, Momcozy Mobile Style Hands-Free Breast Pump M6 offers an intriguing option. But does it live up to the hype?

This review dives into the M6's features, performance, and overall value to help you decide if it's the right fit for your pumping needs.

Unboxing and first impressions

When the box arrived, it came in a standard brown box with the branded Momcozy box inside. The pumps came in its own carrying case that houses all of its chargers and pieces, which is super convenient. I received a set of two, but you can also purchase a single one. The older version had two fabric drawstring bags, which I found wasnโ€™t ideal for keeping everything in a single place.

Set up was easy. I took out the charging cables, one for each pump, and connected it to the pump. The user manual and quick-start guide are included. The M6 itself feels pretty lightweight and comfortable to hold, with a smooth, matte finish that's easy to clean. When youโ€™re washing something nearly twice a day, the number of parts matters.

Momcozy M6 price

Available on Amazon

At $229.99 on Momcozyโ€™s site, this is an investment. But for me, it was worth it for an item Iโ€™m using at least two to four times a day for six months. Some wearable breast pumps go up to nearly $600, so while this isnโ€™t cheap, Iโ€™d consider it mid-priced in its category. Iโ€™ve tried competitorsโ€™ versions and this is by far my favorite.

The Momcozy M6 features a sleek and compact design. Iโ€™m impressed with its user-friendly interface. The touchscreen display shows battery life, suction level, and a pumping timer. The buttons are easy to press, even while holding the pumps. And of course, the fact that its design includes only four parts to wash is key for me. Overall, the design prioritizes portability and ease of use.

How I tested the Momcozy M6

To thoroughly evaluate the Momcozy M6, I put it through its paces in various pumping scenarios. Here's a breakdown of my experience. Iโ€™ve owned it for about three months and have been using it anywhere from two to five times a day, depending on my babyโ€™s breastfeeding needs and schedule. I use it for 20-30 minutes each time, sometimes at home while Iโ€™m working. Iโ€™ve also used it on walks and while driving to and from New York City from Westchester County where I live, for meetings.

After testing out many, many nursing/pumping bras, I discovered the Momcozy Seamless Jelly Push Up Nursing Bras to use while pumping and nursing and havenโ€™t looked back. They are far superior than other nursing bras Iโ€™ve tried. While thatโ€™s not included in the Momcozy M6 Wearable Breast Pump, itโ€™s available separately via the Momcozy site and on Amazon. They provide support, look great, and are easy to use while pumping or nursing.

My experience using the Momcozy M6

Setup

Setting up the Momcozy M6 was straightforward. The included instructions were clear and easy to follow. Assembling the flanges, bottles, and pump units took less than five minutes.

Pumping

Letdown: While the M6 doesn't have a dedicated letdown mode, I found that starting on a lower suction level for a few minutes helped stimulate milk flow before switching to a stronger setting for expression.

Comfort: The lightweight design and adjustable suction levels made pumping comfortable for sessions lasting up to 30 minutes.

Performance and efficiency: The M6 effectively pumps milk, better to my previous one from the same brand. With its hospital-grade pump, Iโ€™m able to pump more ounces. While individual results may vary, I found the closed system design prevented milk backup and ensured efficient milk collection.

Noise levels

As advertised, the M6 operated very quietly, well under 60 dB. This was a major advantage, allowing me to pump discreetly without disturbing others.

User-friendliness

The touchscreen display and easy-to-press buttons made operating the M6 a breeze. Even while pumping, adjusting suction or checking the timer was simple. I also like that there were no separate bags needed when pumping, though I store my pumped milk in separate bottles most of the time.

Portability

The compact size and lightweight design of the M6 pumps made them incredibly portable. The included carrying case allows for discreet and convenient transport, making them ideal for on-the-go pumping sessions. I easily fit it into my carry-on tote for weekends away.

Ease of cleaning

As I mentioned, this is the most vital thing for me. The M6's parts are easy to disassemble for cleaning. Most components, except for the battery and charger, of course, are dishwasher-safe on the top rack. Steam sterilization is also recommended the first time you use it.

Final verdict

The Momcozy M6 hands-free breast pump is a solid option for parents like me who prioritize quiet operation, portability, and convenience. The long battery life and closed system design are additional bonuses.

The lack of flange size options and app connectivity might be drawbacks for some users, but what made the difference for me is the minimal pieces to wash several times a day.

Ultimately, the M6 is a well-designed pump at a competitive, mid-range price point, making it worth considering for those who value a hands-free approach to pumping.
