Which Breast Pump?

Date Added: 20/10/2008

We often get asked the question which breast pump is right for me?

This is a very individual question that depends largely on what your personal circumstances are. A mother who needs to express for just the occasional night out or missed feed will have a different requirement to a mother who needs to express after going back to full time employment. Below we have listed our recommedations of which breast pump may be suitable in the more common situations. If you still have queries your local maternity hospital, child health or lactation specialist will also be valuable resources you can talk to if you need further information.
