I never had an electric one, only a manual. That thing hurt my hands and boobs so bad and barely drew out any milk. Electric ones have speed/suction controls for the mothers comfort. I plan on getting an electric one this time around.
Electric!!!! Manual is terrible! Check with your insurance because mine covers the cost completely - no copay , deductibles, etc. You just have to order it within a month of your due date.
My cousin and I just had the same discussion a few days ago. Apparently things have gotten better for mother's looking to breastfeed, many insurances will cover the cost of a breast pump up to a certain amount. Check with your insurance. When i had my son about 8 years back they only covered the cost of renting an electric pump and that may have only been b/c he was very premature. However now since they don't want our babies being sick all the time they're encouraging breastfeeding by paying for electric pumps. Good luck
Electric double is worth the investment.
I used a manual one with my first son. Your hands will get so sore! This time around im prepared with my electric!
By far the electric one! Best to invest in a high quality as it will be so much easier for you (quicker as well)
I got an electric one through my insurance for free.
Electric Breast Pump is the best, I think and most insurance companies will pay for it.
If you can only get one, i would get an electric one, much faster and convenient. I got one of each with my last pregnancy and kept the manual in the diaper bag for "emergencies"
