(-ziggster
First time mom and i don't wanna go all out on an expensive one, i just want a good priced electric breast pump to buy....any model or brand names would be helpful, and is it comfortable to use?
Answer
Get it from a medical supply company like "Apria" you can get a medela pump for half the price of what target or babiesrus sells them for. Also, look into your medical insurance, sometimes they are covered if you have a need for them. You have to get the pediatrician to write the script for you. It has to be something where your baby actually needs you to pump. Such as if they are in ICU, have a cleft lip, etc. I got insurance to cover mine b/c I had GD and my baby was born with very low sugars and had to be given formula immediately. This caused me to have problems with my milk coming in. So the pediatrican wrote a script for me to get a pump.

What would you recommend - manual or electric breast pump?

I'm giving birth next week and I have a hard time choosing between a manual or electric breast pump. Can you please give me some advice?
Answer
Depends on why you need it.
If you'll be returning to work, you need a top quality double electric pump.
If you won't be returning to work you don't really need a pump at all. (In the rare situation that you end up needing to pump early, (i.e. baby is in the NICU and can't nurse), you'd want to rent a hospital grade pump for the short-term.
If you choose to pump the occassional bottle (after 6 weeks) so that you can be away from your baby or hubby can give a feeding from time to time, you may be able to hand express, or if that doesn't work for you, you could decide then if you want to invest in a costly pump for that occassional use, or if a slower, but less costly manual one will do for you.
(I never owned a pump at all.)
