Best breast pump for frequent use/exclusively pumping?

Just that really, can anyone recommend some good ones? I've read that some are only good for occasional use rather than multiple times a day, and obviously if you're using it loads you want one that's easy/quick/whatever.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I used the medal swing for my first and will use it again for this one, what I have done is buy a 2nd pump so can double pump this time

Sprectra double pump: use with a pumping bra and you can wander around the house with it/dustract your baby by dancing and singing like a lunatic while pumping.

I pumped 8x a day for ages and was still pumping 5x a day at 7 months when I wound down.

I used tommee tippee electric pump for my first. I exclusively pumped for 8 weeks it was brilliant

If you plan on exclusive pumping then ask your midwife to put you in touch with the infant feeding team for your area. They will have hire or loan schemes for hospital grade double pumps so you can try some before making a significant investment.

I’m using the medela and I have a haaka to catch letdown from the other boob

For exclusive pumping, you can't beat the Spectra S1.
There's a Facebook group called "Exclusively Expressing" that is a wealth of information for you.

Agreed re Spectra S1, used for three months for first baby and now at almost five months with second. Also second joining the exclusively expressing group on Facebook, make sure it’s the U.K. one!
