Best Hands Free Pump

4 replies

Gingerbread987 · 06/02/2024 06:47

It’s looking like pumping is going to be a part of my breastfeeding journey for a while so I’m looking to get a hands free pump. I’d ideally like one with different size flanges. I’m currently renting the medela double sympoand using the 30mm flanges and getting about 2 ounce per pump. I pump after every feed to drain the boob & increase my milk supply

I have the pippeta which I quite like. Have read though thAt in general wearable pumps are less effective than plug in ones though if your goal is increasing supply!

How did you get on? I’m pumping 2x a day (right before bed on both sides and in the morning on the side I’m not feeding from) and getting about 6-10 oz. We give 1 bottle per day so not building a huge surplus but enough to hopefully go out for a few hours this weekend. I worry about pumping too much that there won’t be enough in the boob when baby wants to eat but that’s probably not logical 😅
