Breast pump advice for mum with baby in scbu

[marmitemad]

My sis in law gave birth (by c section) to a beautiful dd on wed who is seriously ill and has been transferred to the Royal London hospital to await surgery when she is stable.

sis in law has asked me to get her a breast pump as she is staying in a hotel (hospital does not have a bed for her despite the c section on wed )

I am thinking electric is going to be better for her and am torn between the Avent Isis one (as she has my bottles) and the Medela Swing. Can anyone offer any words of wisdom as I only used a manual one.

thanks in advance

Wow madmouse I wish I had that experience! The Royal would give my DS formula and only tell me afterwards.... or call me with only 20 min to spare before a feed, even though it took me 30 min to even get to the ward.

Ameda lactaline is mine, but if the unit has medela and ameda hospital pumps, get her to try both and see which she gets on best with? They apparently suit different women, and the home versions are scaled down ones.
