Best hands free pump to use at same time as bf'ing

Hi,

I'm planning to feed baby on one side and express on the other (I do have reason for this!)

Can anyone recommend the best hands free pump that would be practical to do this & not terrify baby?

Thanks!

I used the ameda lactaline but its not hands free. Very easy to pump and feed though Smile

I use an Avent hand pump. I have the electric one too but find the manual one easier - though I still dribble milk as I need to sit upright to express but lean back to feed Shock

Think I'm being dumb but, with a manual, how do you hold baby whilst pumping?

Once you get used to bfing you will be able to do all sorts of things whilst bfing. Baby will just sort of rest on your arm Smile

You will soon be able to eat, MN, order your shopping online, sign for parcels and totall freak out the delivery man, you will be fine, just give yourself and Lo time to relax and enjoy bfing Smile

You can get special bras that mean you can express hands free. The ones with a hole that you can feed the breast shield through so it's held in place rather than you holding it yourself.
