Electric Vs Manual pumps

Although everyone is different, and will have different preferences, most people who have tried both have the same list of pros and cons! The manual pumps are light weight, easy to pack and carry around, quiet and inexpensive. Most moms’ I've talked to have complained about how long it takes to fully express using a hand pump, and how it can be tiring. Compared to an electric pump, manual is often very slow. Electric pumps aren't as easy to carry around, although some are coming in great travel packs. Despite the increase in size, most women prefer the speed of the electric pump, and it's ease of use.

The top rated manual pump is the Avent Isis manual breast pump, which goes for about $45.

If you want comfort, no pinching, top quality and reliability you would be wise to look at the Medela line. Medela electric pumps are the best rated & reviewed breast pumps available, not only for the actual pump but the accessories you get in the pumping kit. The top rated models are the Medela Classic, and Medela Pump In Style, which is sometimes sold in hospitals by the lactation specialists! The top of the line is expensive, with a $280 price. They have well rated lower end products too, but be careful as some pumps are rated for occasional use only.

Electric breast pumps including Medela and Ameda breast pumps can be purchased online in Canada, the USA and from overseas markets. Have your new breast pump shipped right to your door and enjoy that extra time with your new baby. Choose the model that will give you the freedom to take a night off while still providing your baby with all the benefits of mother’s milk.

Accessories for an electric breast pump include an ice pack to keep the expressed milk cold, an electrical adaptor for the car, a collection kit, tubing, membranes, valves, diaphragm caps, breast shields, power and battery packs.
