Medela manual breast pump?

Question

Is a manual breast pump a good idea if I’ve only been pumping for a month? I just have so much to do and pumping every 2-3 hours and having to be home to do so is hard. Also, my baby is in the NICU so I quite don’t have an huge milk supply yet. So would a manual be ok?

Answer

Does your hospital rent pumps? Or your insurance might cover a double electric pump?
I used the Medela harmony (manual) for about a month cause my electric lost suction and I had to send it in for a new one. It does the job, but honestly for your sanity I’d get an electric.
But whatever works for you! Everyone is different ☺️

Answer

Renting the Medela Symphony helped my supply come in. The manual did not help me unfortunately. I do use the manual when I’m out and about if I feel engorged.
