I was wondering if someone here could give me some advice on breastfeeding. I've heard its overall better for the baby so I definitely want to give it a chance. I called my insurance company today and they said they provide pumps, but I have to decide electric or manual. I'm not sure which is better. Most people i know have formula fed. Any information or tips you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you :)

Electric I loved to bf my son everything is good ab8ut it. No period its free and fast the bond is wonderful but sadly I had to stop because I wasnt providing enough milk and he became fussy

Thank you all so much :) Anything else you could help with, like if you followed a special diet or was it hard to learn the get the baby to latch? And how do you know when to burp them? Im sorry Im just trying to make sure Im prepared.

I personally like electric also but my daughters godmother is exclusively pumping and she likes her manual. My insurance covers a medela in style pump and I am pretty excited to get it since I onky had a cheapy one last time and it wasn't a double.

Def electric!  My LO came 5 weeks early n was in NICU, so I exclusively pumped for about 2 weeks. I use the medela freestyle pump. My insurance covered it 100%. Manual is tiring, and you cant do it hands free (tried it while I was still in the hospital before I could get my electric pump)
