Choosing the right breast pump is like picking the perfect pair of shoes—what works for one fabulous mum might not work for another! Whether you're an exclusive pumper, a part-time expresser, or just getting started, the best breast pump is the one that fits the nursing mum that is uniquely you.
Here’s how to find your the right fit breast pump!
-
For full-time working mums: A double electric pump is a game-changer. It saves time and helps maintain supply.
-
For occasional pumpers: A manual pump or a single electric pump is cost-effective and practical.
-
For exclusive pumpers: Go for a hospital-grade pump for efficiency and comfort.
-
For mums on the go: A wearable, hands-free pump lets you multitask while expressing milk.
-
Electric pumps: Faster, more efficient, and great for frequent pumping. Ideal for working mums or those building a stash.
-
Manual pumps: Quiet, lightweight, and best for occasional pumping or travel. Because these tend to be more affordable, it’s good to have a spare manual pump as your second one.
-
Wearable pumps: Perfect for busy, multitasking mums who want a discreet, hands-free option so that they can do other things at the same time.
-
Adjustable suction levels: Look for a pump that mimics a baby’s natural sucking pattern. This helps when you are just starting out in your breastfeeding journey.
-
Flange fit: A well-fitting flange prevents discomfort and improves milk output. Everybody is different, so make sure you find the right fit for you.
-
Portability: Battery-operated or USB-chargeable pumps are great for pumping outside the home. If you’re going back to work or away from home and still want to maintain supply, this will be essential to your success.
-
Easy-to-clean parts: Fewer parts = less stress when cleaning.
-
Closed system vs. open system: A closed system prevents milk from entering the tubing, making it more hygienic.
