Single vs double wearable pump

Currently breast feeding my 1 month old. My first had missed lip tie which prevented latch, and we could never bf.

Generally I feed every 2 hours, and pump after each feed using a manual medela pump. Before bed we give about 3oz of formula, and DP gets up in the morning for the first feed and gives an expressed bottle of breast milk. If our newborn is particularly hungry and I am feeling touched out/exhausted, we also give a bottle of expressed milk.

For this reason, I want a wearable pump. I’m over manually pumping each breast at a time, especially in the early hours!

I had an Elvie with my first but like the look of the Momcozy’s.

I can’t decide between single or double breast pump though. What does everyone think for my situation?

Oh yeah. I forgot! I like the idea of using a single pump on one breast whilst baby feeds on the other, which I’ve read many do. But, often baby will switch breasts and feed from both during a feed. If I pump the one during a feed then won’t that deprive him?
