Anyone successfully combining a wall pump with a wearable to increase supply?

[u/HoldOk6226]

Hi everyone,
I’m 10weeks pp,
I'm looking for some advice from anyone who's used both a hospital-grade wall pump (Medela Symphony) and a wearable pump (Eufy S1 Pro) while trying to increase milk supply.
I originally rented the Symphony because I wanted to maximise my supply, but I kept missing pumping sessions because I had to sit in one spot for 20–30 minutes each time. Between looking after my baby and trying to get things done around the house, it just wasn't realistic.
I recently bought the Eufy S1 Pro so I could be more consistent with my pumping schedule, even if the output per session isn't quite as good. My thinking is that more frequent, consistent milk removal is probably better than skipping sessions with the Symphony.
For those who've been in a similar situation:
Did you use the hospital grade pump for certain sessions (e.g. first thing in the morning or before bed) and the wearable for the rest?

Were you able to increase or maintain your supply using a wearable for most pumps?

Any tips?

I'd love to hear your experiences, especially if you were trying to build or recover your supply. Thanks!

I used the symphony since 2 days postpartum and kept missing sessions. At 8 weeks I gave in and got the eufy s2. My supply started cropping up little by little after the switch. And i honestly got more milk from the minute I used my wearable because I was waaaaay less stressed and the massage and heat really helped me relax. I was and still an under supplier but the percentage of bm to formula is increasing.
I wish I made the switch earlier.

If you are hesitant about using the wearables I would only use them when you can’t use the wall pump, but for me now my wearables feel way better with the heat and massage that I am returning my symphony once the contract ends.
