I bought the medela double electric bc I heard great things about it. Plus I will have a 22 month old when I have this baby and I won't have time to sit and manually pump :)

I bought a manual  I'll only be using it like once a day. I found out that medical  insurance in Canada doesn't cover pumps I was so bummed

I agree, electric is so much more convienent. I reccommend a double too bc while pumping one, the other tends to leak and you lose milk that way...plus you end up covered in milk...gross. lol my electric just broke so I'm back to manual :(

I highly recommend an electric pump. They are much faster and more efficient. Medela and Ameda are both great brands.

The manual one is so slow and your hand gets tired.
I don't have an electric one but I think I'm getting one

Electric pumps are better i used both with my first. The electric was just alittle faster than me pumping but the manual had alittle smoother flow.

Electric hands down! Easier, faster, convenient, etc. I got a medella double electric pump which is hospital grade pump for free with my medical. Most medical insurances have to provide you some sort of help with breast pumps in most states
