Breast feeding

[Mccracken23]

Can anyone recommend a breast pump - baby number on way and want to try breastfeeding. Didn't go to plan with baby 1 so want to have the best tools to help!!

Thanks

Medela Swing 100%

V.efficient and works with batteries aa well as mains. If i had the money, i’d have got the two-pump version to half the time it takes.

Nuby touch double

Although now looking at the Elvie I'd get that

Medela Swing. However I also just got an Elvie, which doesn't get the same quantities but is brilliant for being hands free (especially important with two kids!)

I got an Elvie as I've a toddler and needed to go hands free and get much more milk quicker than the madela swing

@MyHeartIsBrokeButIHaveSomeGlue I was thinking of buying one. Why doesn't it get the same quantities, is it not strong enough?

I don't find it as powerful as the Medela Swing, which I get more milk from and quicker. The Elvie takes longer, however I rate it for the hands free factor alone. Agree with PP that when you have a toddler being wired up to a pump for 15 mins is too difficult! I will also flag that the Elvie isn't actually silent as it's advertised, it's super quiet, but I would still only use in busier environments if out or with people as you can definitely hear it. Still - my best purchase since baby no2 arrived a month ago! Well worth it.

Also, with Elvie you might have to play around with the positioning - if it's not on right and tight enough it won't work or can leak.
