What breast pump do you have?


I am using the Medela MiniElectric BP and I really love it. It was rather expensive and I am wondering if I could have gone the cheaper route with better effectiveness.

I have no idea what it is called, and it is in storage at the moment so I cant look, lo. But my MIL bought me an electric pump in an American store. I was trying to use a hand pump and it was so painful, I cried.

Whatever you buy I suggest an electronic pump. You can even get you OH to hold it for you while you eat or something hehe.

I used an Advent hand pump at first as I don't express very often, but tbh I just manually express now, it's quicker.

Medela pump in style...

borrowed it from a friend (Got all new tubing and valves so no cross contamination for anyone wondering).

I used it briefly, but since I'm not technically lactating yet, I obviously didn't get anything, but it didnt' hurt and it will be great I think to pump.

My first I had a hand pump... worked, but what a pain in the ass.

I've heard the Lansinoh brand was a great one at $99us.

I have a Medela manual pump and it can be a pain in the ass. It's effective, but it takes quite a while. I'm definitely looking to go the electric route. So far I've heard great things about Medela electric pumps. I was on BabiesRus earlier looking at reviews and they sound fantastic.

I get a huge amount with the pump, it's really great.
I think I am super happy with it, so many sources recommend that one.
My hubby knew what he was doing when he got it.

I have the Medela pump in style advanced, I had to get a really good electric one that works fast because I will be going back to work part-time in 12 weeks.
