Which pump is best for you? Every mum has her own reasons for wanting to express milk. The biggest advantage is that your baby can benefit from your milk when you're not around. A simple manual breast pump may be the best option if you only want to express milk for one feed a day or for an occasional break. Bear in mind that it's best to wait until your baby is about six weeks old and you've established breastfeeding, before you offer him a bottle. Why use a manual breast pump? A big advantage of manual pumps is their simplicity and convenient size.And many mums say manual pumps feel natural and very closely mimic your baby's sucking. Comfort is a top priority for expressing mums. Using a breast pump shouldn't hurt you, but some women can find the suction uncomfortable. With a manual pump, you are generally better able to control the suction rate yourself. Once you've placed the suction cup over your breast, you squeeze the handle to create a rhythmic vacuum that stimulates milk flow. At first, you may need both hands to work the pump, although you'll probably soon get used to one-handed pumping. Hand pumps are generally more affordable, smaller, lighter, and quieter than electric pumps. Once you've become skilled at pumping, you may like to pump one breast while your baby is feeding at the other. With a manual pump, there won't be any motor noise to disturb him. Choosing a manual breast pump is a good low-cost option if you're only expressing milk every now and then, or when you're away from home. What are the pros of manual breast pumps? ★Cheaper than electric breast pumps, and cost nothing to run after you've bought one ★Few components make them easier to clean and sterilise than electric pumps ★Compact and easy to fit into your handbag ★Simple-to-use mechanism ★Lightweight ★Quiet
