Breast pump recommendations please?

Question

So I'm due in February with my 3rd and I'm thinking about collecting some milk before she's born and I'm going to kinda bottle and breast feed.  But my budget is below £90/£100 so brands like momcozy and Evie I cannot afford.
Any cheap, reliable and good brands out there?

Answer

Look clearly everywhere is different. We have the NHS. I wouldn't do it at 36 weeks anyways as I prefer not to try and induce labour before 37 weeks. I prefer to start harvesting at 38 weeks. It's not an issue at all with me harvesting colostrum/milk. As some people are still breastfeedinf whilst pregnant anyways so what's the difference in me trying to store some before my babies born🤷🏼‍♀️
37 weeks is term where I am. My son was just born to term (37 weeks exactly). I know what I'm doing, I harvested some colostrum at 38 weeks with my daughter and helped a lot as she didn't have a great latch due to having a small mouth compared to my nipples and she didn't want to feed properly the first 48 hours. It's completely safe if I'm not at high risk. Everyone's different in what they do in this situation, and I understand your opinion. However, not everyone will agree with you and have the same opinion.

Babies lungs develop fully by 36 weeks as well for that comment you made that the last couple weeks is when their lungs develop 😅

No pumping what so ever before birth. That can send you into preterm labor. It’s best to put baby to breast and stay on breast for the first 6wks as pumping on top of nursing can very easily send your body into over supply and cause serious issues. It’s a higher risk for clogged ducts and mastitis. 
Spectra is the pump I highly suggest. Lanisoh is another decent one. Cheap is not best, you get what you pay for. Have to make sure the flanges fit correctly. 
Any questions always ask an IBCLC and not a doctor. Drs are not breastfeeding educated at all.

Answer

Don’t have any recommendations as this is my first pregnancy but there is actually a tab on this app where you can apply for a free breast pump through your insurance and they do have highly rated brands! Mine is set to be delivered sometime in March but I’m due May 9th. I believe it is Aeroflow that supplies them and is totally legit!
