Which Pump ?????

[kmchenry254]

ok well i breast fed my first son for the first month and a half
but i didnt use pumps
this time around i wanna use a pump so i can store some breast milk hoping it'll be a little bit easier
the thing is im soooo lost when it comes to this stuff LOL
their is soooo many different types
im assuming the double pumps are better
suggestions would be truly appreciated
(brands & prices if you can remember)- thanks !

also do you have to use a certain bottle?

medela pump in style double electric pump is great! Around $200 I think but worth it...

I just bought an avent nisis manual pump to bring to work on days I don't have access to an outlet/plug...and I cant get a DROP!  iT WAS EXPENSIVE TOO...$45...sorry about caps, nursing and typing w/ 1 hand...

you use the bottles from the same company or you can transfer yor milk to any bottle but medela has bottles that fit the pump so you can pump into the bottle, store it and feed from it...

I agree Medela, but I only use a single I have the swing and love it, it is about $130, I think.  Good Luck!!

It all depends on how much you will be relying on the pump.  For example, are you going to be pumping everyday while at work or pumping on occasion to allow yourself to be away from baby every once in awhile?  If you will not be using it often, I wouldn't spend big bucks on one.  While I am on maternity leave I am using a Medela manual pump ($30) just for the excess b/m.  When I go back to work, I will be using the Medela pump in style ($200 +).  You don't really need special bottles, just get some that will screw onto the pump.
