Breast pump advice please!!

[Rubiales678]

Hi I'm in need of some advice. I'm looking to buy a different electric breast pump as I can't get much milk out of the belababy. I've had it a few months and used it sporadically , some times I can get 1-2 ounces other times like hardly any at all like 10 ml . It's very frustrating. Baby is 6 months and been exclusively breast fed since birth , I need to start pumping more to build up a stash for when I go back to work when baby is 9 months. I'm going back for a day a week soon to ease back in and it will take me all week to express enough milk for that one day! ! 😩 So I need an electric pump that is powerful ( good for slow flow) that I can use easily at work. Any suggestions? I was wondering if I just have weird boobs that don't fit the pump (lol) but I'm beginning to think I have a slow flow as I've never leaked and I struggle to hand express, also had a silicone hand pump similar to hakaa but couldn't get any out with that either. Please help! I can't afford to buy more than 1 more breast pump! Any suggestions welcome ☺️

Ardo calypso double pump.

If you are just going to be at work one day a week and baby will be 9 months then I wouldn't bother expressing except for comfort, in which case you'd be as well hand expressing or using a silicone pump or your bellababy.

Will baby even take a bottle if you do express as many older babies will refuse.

At 9 months your supply is very well established and baby can have 3 meals plus snacks and water while away from you. If you feed in the morning before going to work and then immediately after you get home then you will probably only miss 1 or 2 feeds.

@Fortheloveoficecream I didn't explain properly I'll be doing 1 day a week from 7 to 9 months then at 9 months 3 days a week. He does take a bottle he's had the odd one since he was about 3 months with expressed milk. I think you're right tho I will probably only need to pump for comfort by then. It's just this in between bit from now til 9 months where he's not having much solids yet but I think what I'll do is pump what I can for that one day a week and have formula as back up.
