Help with pumps !

Question

Hey mommas, need your opinions on breast pumps, the yay and nays! First time momma and no idea what to do 😭

Answer

Definitely get a hospital grade one (like a spectra) if you’re going to be pumping regularly. Handsfree/wireless pumps are great if you’re only going to be pumping every now and then, like 3x a day or less. They’re not to be used as primary pumps. And don’t sleep on a hand pump. They’re cheap, easy and super effective. a haakaa is also a good option if youre looking to nurse and pump. just suction it to the opposite breast to draw out your letdown plus some. your insurance should cover a pump so
definitely utilize that if you can. try to take a breastfeeding class and get in with an IBCLC after delivery so you can come up with a good plan. they can also size you so you have the right flange fit. 
personally, i just had my second baby and have primarily been using a haakaa and a lansinoh hand pump. in 9 weeks i have frozen over 1,000 oz of milk. (you absolutely don't need a stash that big, and i do have a bit of an oversupply) i use my haakaa during most feedings and the hand pump once during the night since baby sleeps through. i have a willow go and ive used that a hand full of times with good results. i have a spectra from my previous pregnancy and will switch over to that once my baby goes to daycare and i start pumping more regularly.

Answer

I liked my Madela, but either Madela or Spectra I think are good options!!
