Best breast pump for combination feeding?

MrsSoonToBeMummy · 11/07/2019 08:58

I'm planning to combination feed by breastfeeding and expressing to feed from a bottle because it's really important to me and my husband that he can also feed our baby. I'm aware this will involve a lot of expressing and I'm looking for advice on which breast pump other mummies have found to be the best. Looking around I can see that some are really pricey and I don't mind spending the money as long as I know I'm getting the best product for what I need.

Any advice would be really appreciated 😊

If it's to collect enough milk for 1-2 feeds a day, how about looking at one of the Haakaa or similar, since you don't have to really do anything but catch the excess from the other side and only have one piece to wash?
I had the electric tommee tippee which was fine but had loads of pieces to wash and didnt get loads of milk out.
When I worked in neonatal we had the top of the range Medela which got loads of milk out for the mums but was really expensive - I'd splash out if I was going to be pumping loads, it really worked well.

We had a Nuby electric and that worked well for mixed feeding. It is a closed system as opposed to some others (eg Medela) that are open systems.
