Large breasts - Pump recommendations

3 replies

Hi all,

I'm only 16+4 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child, I know it is pretty early on still, but I am trying to think ahead and be somewhat prepared.

With my first I breastfed fine until I ended up with Mastitis and all went to pot.

Anyway I want to breastfeed this time around, however I know I'm going to need help and so want to express.

I have rather large boobs and they have only got bigger with pregnancy, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a pump that would be best for larger breasts..?

Thanks in advance!

I just had a Tommee Tippee electric (I'm and H cup) and didn't have any issues. As long as it'll cover your nipple and some of the areola it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm a K cup and I expressed successfully with an Avent manual and a Medela Swing. As becca says, it only needs to cover your areola.

Thank you, wasn't sure if it would be hard to express or not. :)
