Best breast pump?

[Lou0219]

Hi guys, looking for recommendations for a breast pump. Was looking at the Nuby electric pump, any reviews? Has to be electric
Thank you

I've just bought a Medela swing based on friend recommendations and reviews, the price was putting me off but it was £70 off on black Friday (Amazon) not sure if the offer is still on

I had the medela swing with my last DC and it was great but very expensive. This time bought one on amazon for half the price and it’s just as good if not better tbh, I love it.

It’s this one: www.amazon.co.uk/Bellababy-Electric-Breastfeeding-Touchscreen-Breastmilk/dp/B07CWKTBJQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4/257-7451638-9837022?ref=plSrch&dpPl=1&dpID=51P62-9El%2BL&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1543309289&sr=1-4

Medela

How regularly will you be pumping? If you are going back to work or exclusively pumping, I recommend the Spectra S1. Half the price of the equivalent Medela.

If pumping regularly, the Ardo Calypso double electric pump. It's closed system. (Unlike the Medela Swing, which is open system.)

For the early days, the Haakaa is great to get milk from one side while feeding from the other.

I was leant an ardo calypso by the milk bank, it was fab.

Personally I'd avoid medela as they are open systems, resulting in mould growth which can feasibly get back in to the milk you pump.

Though I wouldn't actually bother with one at all unless you know you need one.

The Haakaa is great, but can't be used as an exclusive feed and need mixed with pumped milk or used to top up.
