Electric breast pump or manual?

Question

Which is better? And which brand ??

Answer

electric for sure. any of the Medela ones or the Spectra s2 are the best. Contact your insurance because they will provide you with one! If you have Medicaid then you can go through WIC to get one after your baby is born

Answer

I personally find an electric pump easier and faster! hand pumps never really seemed to help me and it always took forever! But I have a medela pump and it actually comes with a hand pump, so you get 2 in one :)

Answer

If you're staying at home and only pumping occasionally then manual could be enough for you. I like the medela harmony. If you go with electric look for a closed system for easier cleaning

Answer

I have the spectra s2 and the medela manual. I use the manual far more than the electric! I can use the manual anywhere...like relaxing on the couch and I don't have to take several minutes to prepare for electric...like put the pumping bra on, hook up the machine, etc. personal preference I guess!

Answer

Manual takes way too long to get a good amount of milk out. I remember I used to do it for like a half an hour and get maybe 2oz out and it was very inconvenient.  Then I switched to an electric breast pump one day and got about 6oz out in 20 mins. I would definitely get an electric pump. Usually your insurance covers it - ask your obgyn or midwife they should have paperwork for you to fill out and then you give it back to them and they send it in and you'll get an email to choose which free breast pump you want. I have the Medela pump in style advance something and I'm an exclusive pumper and it works great for me

Answer

Electric! It's quick & easy:)

Answer

I have both the Medela manual pump and Medela electric pump. They both work really well. The manual pump is nice to have on the go if you need to pump while out. I use the manual in the middle of the night if I become to full. It's quieter than the electric pump.
