Noogleberry cups with breastpump?

Can I just order the noogleberry domes and hook them up to my breastpump and use the tubing that comes with my breastpump? That would make it so cheap for me that I may as well try it. Has anyone tried that? I have a double pump (Pump In Style). The pump obviously, oscillates since it is for pumping milk. Would that be not quite the right suction for the noogleberry or would it be ok to pump it a little and then stop? How do you maintain suction once you stop manually pumping with the noogleberry system?

Never heard of that Melanie. Sounds like a bit of ingenuity on your part! I have no idea about the oscillation, but it's important to have a full steady suction IMO. I think the noogle pump is quite inexpensive in relative terms, and might be a wise investment, instead of trying something and not having it work so well, and then having to wait for the pump to be shipped separately from the domes. But this is coming from someone with no experience with breastpumps for lactation! Someone else might tell you it's a great idea... Also not sure about the size of the breastpump, but a noogle pump is light and manageable. The tubing isn't so long, so I'm not sure if you'd want to be attached to anything with any weight to it as you'll be quite restricted (even more than you are when attached to a set of plastic domes on your chest, that can pop off with the slightest movement!)
