Like many other products, there are a large number of different breast pumps available today, which may make it difficult to decide which is best for your needs. The first step to determining which type of breast pump is the right one for you is to decide between a manual pump or an electric pump.
Manual Breast Pumps
If you don’t plan to be pumping much, maybe just on occasion, then a manual pump is probably your best bet. These tend to be very lightweight and easy to pack and carry around with you wherever you go.
Aside from this, if pricing is an issue for you, manual pumps are sold at extremely affordable prices. You can easily find some as low as thirty dollars online. It’s a good idea to purchase a manual breast pump to begin with in order to get a feel for how long or how often you will be pumping. From there you can determine whether or not it would be worth it to invest in an electric pump.
The best thing about a manual pump, aside from the affordable cost, is that it gives mothers absolute control over the suction and speed of the milk extraction process. However, at the same time, many women often grow tired during this process and may not be able to collect an adequate amount of milk for feeding their baby.
