hey i would like to know whats the best breast pump? Experience on using them what ones to avoid all advice welcome x x
 
I use the Tommee Tippee hand pump if i express. It works well for me, always manage to get a decent amount off.

Some people prefer to use electric pumps or hand express though, but it is whatever you find works best for you hun :)

ditto!!
 
I have the Tommee Tippee hand one. I do ok but sometimes struggle. More when i'm tired though. My sister is lending me the Medela Electric one to try. They're a bargain on ebay too.
 
I have the Lansinoh manual pump - I wouldn't try an electric as my nips can't tolerate too much pressure (I barely squeeze the pump halfway). I tried the Avent manual pump with DD but that didn't seem to fit my boobs well (I'm not exactly what you could call well endowed :lol: )

Find the Lansinoh one really good :) no probs so far

Medela Mini Electric for me. I swear by it! :D

Agreed! :D

Ditto!

I also tried the Avent electric pump, I didn't like it, it was really complicated and quite cumbersome to hold. Would defo. recommend the Medela.
 
I use the Tommee Tippee manual one. I get on ok with it, but sometimes the suction isn't strong enough after a few minutes use & I resort to hand expressing off the last bit.

I guess it really depends how much you want to spend & how much you will use it.

I only express twice a day max. & will continue with breastfeeding for the other feeds, so this system is doable for me.

But I think if I was gonna express all the time I'd consider spending more & going electric.

Good luck.
