confused about breast pumps!

Have bought the Tommee Tippee steriliser and bottle set. Am planning on breast feeding but am confused about what i need!
If I go for an electric breast pump will I need that to be Tommee Tippee also? The girl in Mothercare said I do but it has really poor reviews.
am I jumping the gun and is this something I'd use further down the line and not straight away?
Baby's due in 6 weeks and I'm still as baffled with it all as I was 34 weeks ago!

Exactly what Running said.
I find it works well, just would say that if you are going to be doing a lot of battery-operated pumping, it takes 6 x AA and tears through them reasonably quickly.
If you do buy that one, it matches Nuk bottles, as I said, but I still reckon that's no big deal and if you've already opened your TT packaging, don't worry one bit.

Great thanks very much! I think I'm probably going to go with the lansinoh double one then.
If for whatever reason I don't use it there are always pregnant people at work I can try and sell it on to Grin thanks again.

Keep your receipt and keep it in the box.
The best of luck!

Does anyone have experience with the Ardo breast pump? I thought I'd decided on that one but I'm not sure now as it's not been mentioned once on this thread.

Not used the Ardo. I bought the Lactaline when DC2 was about 6 weeks and it was good. I had a Tommee Tippee Isis with DC1 and could barely manage 5ml.
