Breast Pumps


Hi

So I had a go at hand expressing today. That was a messy job, most of it went over my hand and not into the bottle! I'm thinking a breast pump might be the best option after all!

Which do you use/recommend? Did you buy or rent?

lol poor you. It is a sticky business isnt it?

I think the Meleda electric one is the best I think also avent isnt too bad but not manual will give you an RSI of the wrists lol
Well done for trying
