Breast pump recommendations for small boobs

Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any recommendations for a breast pump for small boobs. I'm a 32A so very small chested and not sure which breast pumps would be best to buy?

If baby hasn't arrived yet I personally wouldn't bother. Most Mums don't express for the first 6 weeks or so and by then you'll probably have a better idea of what you want.

To answer your question though I was the same size and I bought a secondhand Ameda Lactaline which was really good.

If you want to get a Breastpump so that you're prepared, I can give you some much better tips on being prepared for BFing if you'd like?

I am a similar size and used a Hakka manual one on one side while I fed off the other which collected some. Then I had a medela single electric pump (not hands free) which I got on fine with. I personally wouldn't leave it until 6 weeks if you are very keen to express and bottle feed some of the time - I know a lot of people whose babies refused by that age and they were completely unable to get them on a bottle. I started around 2 weeks and can't say it caused any issues with supply etc.

Boob size doesn’t matter for pumps, it’s flange size that matters, to fit the nipple correctly.

I had a Medela breast pump with my first that was great, with my second I hired an Ardo Calypso from the hospital for 2 weeks that was really good and I ended up buying one secondhand. I've always been small chested, but by the time my milk came in I went up to an F cup, as someone else said breast size shouldn't matter when it comes to pumps.
