Can I use curve just like catch. They look same to me

[@NewLittleLife]

The curve has suction, the catch does not. So yes, you can just put the curve in your bra with no suction and use it like the catch! But it’s more expensive and works much better when the suction is applied.

[@cnguyen5529]

I love how you used a ballon as an example & showing how the milk gets poured, I’ve been watching videos on elvie products all day & idk why, but it just really helps when there’s visual examples of how the product works, thank you!

[@NewLittleLife]

So glad to help! 💕

[@Roseflowz]

Yes thank you from me too! It's also much classier than demonstrating with actual breasts lol which is why I subscribed! Yay!

I love that you use a balloon it makes it so much easier for first time moms to understand!

[@shuba7410]

Thank you! I got myself the Elvie Curve. I had delayed milk production. I am also not blessed with an abundant milk supply. So, every drop counts. Today, I managed to collect 25 ml for my kid from the leaking milk and suction pumping while feeding my son.

[@deepbluedenim]

Got my Elvie Curve today and I think I’m in love! I can’t test it yet, since I’m still pregnant but I did try it on. I was worried about the fit since I have larger breasts, but it fits really great and it’s seriously such a smart design! Thanks for the recommendation and comparison videos. I need to watch more of your videos to prepare more my BFing journey. It did not go well with my first kid but I’m hopeful for this one!

[@Chances29]

I bought the Elvie catch cups and the Elvie Curve after watching this video. Thank you for these recommendations because they have been great!! I had a major oversupply problem with my 1st baby so I thought these could help with my second. My second baby is 4 weeks old now and I’ve loved using the Elvie catch for chafing and sore nipples. The Elvie Curve is good but it doesn’t catch more than 2 ounces or so...but I love how discreet it is compared to the Haka and Medela Harmony. I used the Medela Harmony to reduce engorgement and when I had mastitis. It’s really my favorite, but awkward to use around others.

[@natali-.-droid92]

I wish I had watched this video before I got the curve, think what I was looking for but didn’t know existed was the actual pump for 250, even though they both say pump. My wrong for not doing enough research, 50 bucks was kind of too good to be true for a single electric breast pump. Still gonna try it out though now thanks to your video, I was just going to return it because even after the instructions I still didn’t “get it”. Thanks for explaining all three!

[@daniellependergrass7103]

When would you use the curve vs the pump? Like what situation? correct me if I’m wrong.(still learning) The catch would be to wear in my bra like all day just to catch any leakage. You would wear it instead of a nursing pad.

[@Imaginary247]

You'd use the curve when you're in public breastfeeding since it's more discreet. That way, you can catch the leaks, instead of losing them in a breast pad.

[@alliegriffin1274]

I plan to wear the curve when I'm breastfeeding on the other side. And I'll use the pump when I'm not nursing. Yes, the catch is kind of like a pad, you can wear it for 3 hours, then you need to let your nipples breathe for a bit.

[@karehna6202]

@@alliegriffin1274 Ohhh!! Wow I didn't know that! I thought your breastmilk just stays in until you pump! Got it, so I need the suction AND the pump?

[@alliegriffin1274]

@@karehna6202 the curve provides suction like a hakaa, and the catch just catches what leaks. You'll want a pump pump for more stimulation and pump-ability. Your breasts will/can leak, especially the first few months, without any type of suction, so the catch will be helpful in collecting what leaks without wasting it

[@christelman6804]

Hi I'm a first time mommy and I already have the electric pump but thinking about to get the curve or the catch. I understand the Catch and the Pump, still a bit in doubt with the Curve. I have 3 questions: Can you advise or explain why would you use the Curve and not the Electric Elvie Pump while breastfeeding? Can I use the Catch for the let down milk, or is that too small? Can I use the Curve without a bra? Please advise or explain, I appreciate it very much!

[@tinagrzeczkowski695]

So I did know the difference between the Catch vs the Curve before watching this video and, while I love your wealth of information, I was really hoping for a bit more information to know which is right for me. Being a first time mom in the near future, I can only guess at what I might need, but it would be more helpful to hear from your experience in what situations you use which (Catch or Curve)! Would you mind sharing? I saw your answer to another comment to this video, in which I *think* you suggested the Catch to wear in lieu of nursing pads (so, just out and about catching little leaks) and the Curve for catching let down milk from the other breast while breast feeding (and also to help milk flow when it's not flowing as it should). Is my interpretation of your post somewhat accurate? Thank you!!

[@NewLittleLife]

Yes, you’ve got it! Both are great products, or you’re interested in drawing a bit extra milk to save or feed, the curve would be great. If you just want something to catch leaks but don’t want to mess with gathering extra milk or worry about keeping an eye on your supply (watch for oversupply with frequent suction removal) the catch is great for that. I’ll add this topic to a list on my IGTV videos! Thanks!

[@apres5707]

First time mom as well and I'm due next month. I can't decide which to get either the Curve or the Catch. I think I'll try the Catch for now to use while nursing.

[@benirizarry5406]

tnks for clarifying because I was like oh no what do I get my friend

[@SamSam-bt2tt]

Thank you very much for this informative video. I am setting an exam and would be from morning till 5pm, and my baby will be 5 weeks. I was wondering if I can use the Elvie Curve instead of the Elvie Pump during my exam day. Thanks again😊

[@MChristinaTD]

Thank you for this video! I purchased both the Curve and Catch for my upcoming 3rd baby, but is there ever a situation where I would use one more than the other? Would it be bad to exclusively use the curve in lieu of the catch? I’m wondering if I will get my money’s worth and have an opportunity to regularly use both, or if I should return one of them since both essentially collect milk.

[@NewLittleLife]

It depends I guess, the catch comes with 2 so they are nice milk catchers. Reusable as well so you’d go through less nursing pads. The curve will help you remove some milk, usually while feeding on the other side or in a pinch where one side needs a little help! It’s kinda bulky for every day wearing and only comes with one. Does that answer your question? If you only keep one, I’d keep the curve I think 🤔

[@MChristinaTD]

Thanks Allison! Do think it’s possible to go out in public and wear both Catch cups in lieu of pads on a regular basis? To run errands and things, say to the grocery store or what have you?

[@NewLittleLife]

Yup! Definitely. With a tight shirt I’m sure the shape would be a little noticeable, but with a good bra no problem.

[@aary9176]

Do you think it can work as a supplement "pump" while at work/outing?

[@leticiazapico8973]

The elvie curve, do you know for how many minutes I can wear it? Is it good to use to stimulate the body to produce more milk to express or the pump is better?

[@christinaalbair]

Same question

[@annatan9]

You said be “cautious using the curve especially in the beginning”, what does that mean? Would it cause an oversupply? Thanks!

[@NewLittleLife]

Exactly. Any extra milk removal (not just the curve but any pump) can cause an oversupply. Just best not to use suction with every feed

[@quinncrochet19]

Can you do a review on the Medela Pump in Style Max Flow?

[@jerrykuttans400]

Hai. Which one I can use during the work to get more milk and avoid engorgment also. Without using hand with affordable prices

[@karehna6202]

Okay, I'm going to sound unexperienced but I am a first time mom, what is the difference between the pump and the curve? I get one is electrical, but how does the suction work? Like does the suction, once is on the breastmilk comes out OR how do you get the breastmilk to come out on the suction one?

[@JenniferSharp9488]

First time mom here, and I'm working on my registry. I plan to breastfeed, so milk supply is important. Do I need an electric pump and a manual pump? Can I just use the catchers when breastfeeding or between feeds, and then pump when babe isn't feeding? HElp! Thanks!

[@louisaoverstreet]

So helpful, thank you!

[@lottetr96]

Does the Elvie catch stay on when lying down? I’m thinking about getting 2 to wear at night

[@carolineh.2566]

Thank you for these videos. I have a medela double pump in style for my first baby but would like to switch to this option for my next. Do I need the elvie double pump or could I purchase one side pump only and use the curve on the other side at the same time? What do you recommend?

[@NaiRoandKai]

Same and I’m over it lol

[@NewLittleLife]

Sorry for the late reply! The curve isn’t going to empty you, if you’re trying to pump frequently, this idea won’t work. BUT, I mostly breastfeeding, and so often when I need to pump it’s just one side or while the baby is feeding. So one elvie works fine for me!

[@mariarivera9310]

[@bettylee3759]

When do we use a pump vs a suction? What are the benefits of a suction vs a pump?

[@NewLittleLife]

If you need to empty your breast to replace a feed, you need a pump. If you’re just catching “extra” milk but still on your regular breastfeeding schedule, use a catcher/suction.

[@feralkityn1762]

Hi just wondering why you have to be careful how much you use the curve pump at the start. I have just ordered two of these. Thanks

[@NewLittleLife]

Just don’t remove so much extra milk in the early weeks that you accidentally create an oversupply. It’s a nice tool though!

[@seydicifuentes526]

New mom to be here and I’m clueless on all this but I’m planning to use the elvie curve but I keep hearing woman say they use it only while they nurse on one side but I plan to pump only to bottle feed so I’m wondering if I can fully pump on this and it being the best option for this use

[@NewLittleLife]

The curve is nice to use while nursing, but it won’t empty your breast. It’s not really a pump, it’s closer to a milk collector. Does that answer your question?

[@EricaMulti]

Ok, maybe it's a stupid question! But... do you think I can use the Elvie curve to "pump" during the day while I am way from my baby?

[@NewLittleLife]

Definitely not :) good question though!

[@SW-zt5mw]

Do any of the milk catchers work well for ladies that already have downward pointing nipples/drooping breasts or are they more for the perter breast?

[@Circean161]

Why exactly did you say to be cautious of using the elvie curve a lot in the beginning? My first child's bf journey was awful and I'm worried I won't pump/feed enough in the beginning and will have low supply again. I'm probably going to pump exclusively so I can make sure he's eating enough. I'm looking into getting an elvie because it didn't work for me to be attached to a wall pumping for hours and I know that was part of my downfall the first time.

[@NewLittleLife]

We sometimes see an “oversupply” created when alot of extra milk is removed on top of what baby needs to feed. If your planning on exclusively pumping the curve wouldn’t be much use to you, did that answer your question?

[@yudiliarocha2428]

Should I still buy a breast pump (even if its not an elvie) even though I have the curve?

[@haileebusk6997]

Hi there! Love the video!! I have the Elvie Stride (still pregnant)... Wondering if I could just pump on one side while I'm BF on the other side? Or would you use the Curve on the other side??

[@NewLittleLife]

You could do either :)

[@annieg7090]

Do you have to worry about flange size with the Curve? Am I correct to assume, "no," if it's like the Haakah? Also, I've always wondered - do you get any hindmilk with the Elvie pump or the Curve?

[@NewLittleLife]

No flange sizing necessary with the curve. The milk content varies quite a bit from person to person! It is difficult to pull the milk toward the back of the breast with just a light suction like that

[@melmoeatsnugget6619]

Is it sufficient just to buy the elvie curve without the motor to collect milk? Im confused what varies if i were to wear the one with motor/without. Do they serve the same purpose?

[@NewLittleLife]

Did you watch the video? It may answer your questions! The curve will not empty your breasts. It’s meant for collecting your let down milk (a maybe a bit more), often while the baby eats on the other side. If you want to actually pump, you need the electric pump. Hope that helps!

[@shelbywillhite4219]

Do you think that I could use the Elvie Curve to pump at work? I only have to pump once and I wait tables so orals really hard to get away long enough to pump when we’re busy.

[@NewLittleLife]

No, it’s not a pump that will empty you. Just meant for catching leaking and a bit extra.

[@oliviawilder369]

Why do you have to be careful using the Elvis Curve in the beginning?

[@NewLittleLife]

We just don’t want to accidentally create an oversupply but sending your body signals that you need more milk because more milk is being taken than actually what baby needs. Just be mindful :)

[@jenniferalexander8938]

Could the curve be used to express a bit between feeds if I'm away from my little one for a bit longer than usual and can't feed him?... i.e. to keep from feeling too full? I have a Medela pump but am looking for something discrete and not outrageously expensive that I can take out with me

[@NewLittleLife]

Not effectively. It would keep you from feeling full, but not emptying the breast may hurt your overall milk supply. This will take some off the top if you know you’ll be back with your baby soon! But but a good replacement for a missed pumping session.

[@jenniferalexander8938]

@@NewLittleLife thanks.... It's for once a week at the moment, where I'm going to a class and I plan to feed before and after but there will be a gap of approx 4 hours because of travel time, while normally just now I am feeding him every couple hours (except at night when he sleeps anywhere from 5-7 hours). My husband will feed him expressed milk. Is it likely to hurt my supply doing that once a week?

[@cluchicladiz]

Thank you Allison! First mom here (so a little lost!), is using something like an Elvie Catch during the day just to catch milk a thing? Is that recommended? Can you use the milk even though it's been there for a long time or is it just so you won't get wet? Trying to understand if I need this... Maybe is just for comfort because it covers the nipple?

[@NewLittleLife]

You can wear it to catch milk, sure! You can also use the milk no problem. Maybe 4 hours max for using the milk? I personally wouldn’t wear this all day. A breast pad is much more discreet and easy to use. The catch is awesome while your nursing though to catch the let down with no extra suction like the curve, or to give your nipples a break if they’re sore or need some air. You also can’t wear these at night, the milk would leak. I do like the product a lot! My favorite milk catcher I’ve tried :)
