So, shit's hitting the fan a bit now that I'm only 9 weeks away from being classed as full term, and my OH and I have recently compiled an extensive list of all the stuff we need for the baby. (we have even managed to buy some of the things on it!)
I have a couple of items on the list of which, quite frankly, I've no idea of what to go for; breast pumps currently being the main source of contemplation.
There's loads of things on Google, all with mixed reviews, all priced differently.
Do any of you ladies know anything about breast pumps? Like, what I need to look out for, do I go manual or electronic, is it better to splash out and buy one of the big brands, or is a cheap thing from Amazon/Boots just as good? Is there anything that you'd personally avoid, or swear by?
Or is there a better way of expressing breast milk without having to use a breast pump?
I'm going to try and breast feed for the first six months, so ideally I'd love to buy something that I can get the full worth out of - it would be lovely to avoid the cost, but I don't mind cashing out on something if I know that it's going to be a massive benefit.
Thanks.
