whats the best

so i have decided to pump my milk and have the baby drink out of a bottle so that way boyfriend can partake in the feeding part and have the bonding experience as well now i have never breastfed before never and i was wondering if any of you have any suggestions on a breast pump there are tons of them out there i want this to be as less painful as possible i have heard from a lot of woman saying the breast pump was very painful and i dont want that any input on this would be great

I have the Medula Pump in Style electric pump and LOVE it. You can buy them used or rent one from the hospital as they are rather expensive new.

For bottles I we use the breastflow bottles- they are made by The First Years. They have 2 nipples, one for compression and one for suction, which make them seem more like a breast. Also, because of the nipples, babies tend to get less gassy.

I also use the In Style pump and i really love it!!  I use avent bottles with the slowest flow nipple.  I really like the bottles except they do leak sometimes.

I used a cheap $50 one breast at a time pump and it didn't work so hot. Took forever to get the milk out, like 30 minutes just to do it. I ended up stopping breastfeeding because of it after 3 months since I couldn't take that much time out of my job. But I did breastfeed her myself and it was very enjoyable, I was sad to stop doing it.
