Medela Family - Breast Feeding

I can’t seem to connect my new swing maxi to the app.. the option to connect this pump is not even available. What is the point then?

This app WOULD be perfect if it actually worked! It doesn't save my pump sessions as the save button just goes grey and refuses to save. When trying to save a past pump session it gives an alert of “invalid time.” I really liked the Medela app as you can track how much you collect from each breast and the design of the app is simple and very easy to use and it tells you how big your babies stomach capacity is based on their age. But if I can’t even save my pump sessions what good is this app?

This app has been great/an absolute life saver, especially as my baby has been in hospital and has had surgery, so it’s been essential that the number and length of time for feeds and number, type of nappy changes is captured accurately, weight is tracked and the amount of pumped milk in the vm freezer, It would be even better if there was the option to add daily medications.

Have not been able to add manual pumping information as soon as I try hit the manual button the app shuts down . Issues have started since the last update - rendering the app useless for me. Other than that , the changes have made the app far more user friendly

The app won’t allow you to track a manual feed if the pump is on charge and in Bluetooth range it automatically selects it as pump tracking. Have to turn off Bluetooth to use, such a pain if your trying to track feeds as well. Voice control doesn’t work well, if you only have one child in the app it should default select rather than asking which child. Even added the child in the shortcut it still asks me.

I am not a fan of the recent update, much prefer the old version which was way easier to use and see patterns and history. Not a fan of the update and unlikely to continue using it because it’s far too complicated now.

I LOVED the old app. Was so easy to get use. But since the update I have had issue after issue. I’ll be tracking a feed or a pumping session and it all of a sudden disappears. The timer will produce inaccurate times. You can’t seem to manually enter sessions anymore. Absolutely gutted.

Timer doesn’t work, stops when you leave app. Doesn’t save things and changes times and dates. Not a patch on the old easy to use and amazing app! Bring it back

i’m an exclusively pumping mama and rely so heavily on this app. it’s changed so much that now it doesn’t work for me: i can’t manually enter a pump if i forget to track it in real time, and the stats don’t even make sense anymore!! please please please change it back. i don’t know what to do without it as i do rely so heavily on it to make sure i stick to my schedule!!!

This app is free but only if you have a specific pump by Medela. I’m using a rented Medela Symphony and can’t use the milk storage part of the app. What a huge disappointment.
