breast pump question
Hi;
I am 22 weeks pregnant & I plan to breastfeed. I was wondering which type of breast pumps are better? The manual or the electric? & could you give me a brand or model that is most recommended? Thank you in advance. |

breast pump question
It's one of those YMMV things. It really depends on how much you plan to
pump (how often will you be away from your baby - you may not even need to pump). The most recommended pumps a Medela Pump in Style (Double Electric) Ameda Purely Yours (Double Electric) Avent Isis (Single manual) Whisperwear is gaining in popularity too. Lots of moms here pump and will be able to give you good advice. However don't assume that you will have to pump if you're not going to be working. Congratulations on making the best decision for your baby!! "zolw" wrote in message news:g_t9c.112256$_w.1367342@attbi_s53... Hi; I am 22 weeks pregnant & I plan to breastfeed.

Give it enough time and I think it will become the most popular pump. Love mine, can't praise it enough. Beats my PY and is better than the ISIS by a longshot. |

What I mean is that for a mom who is going to exclusively breastfed AND is a stay-at-home-mom, a breast pump can be done without entirely. Now, going from there, if you do plan to pump and feed, the kind of pump you would need would vary depending it's use. From one extreme to the other, if you are a full time working mom, and plan to pump every day, you would probably do best with a high quality double electric pump. The two most recommended here are the Medela Pump-In-Style, and the Ameda Purely Yours. Most mothers who have either are happy with them. If you only plan to pump occasionally for a night out, or to relieve engorgement, you can probably do well with a single electric or a manual. In that case, the Medela Mini-electric, or Avent Isis would be good. One concern is that people are often passionate about a manual. That is: they either love them or hate them. :-) Of course, you should studiously avoide anything made by companies like Gerber or Evenflo. Oh, and one other thing. Hang around this newsgroup and read. Nursing rquires both some knowledge and some practice to get accomplish and get arounnd problems. By the time you give birth, most of the problems will be discussed and you will either know the answers or who to ask! Welcome, Larry |
