If you're unsure which breast pump is best for you, our buyer's guide will help you make up your mind
A breast pump extracts milk from your breasts so you can store it and feed it to your baby with a bottle. Used to stimulate milk supply, relieve engorgement, feed multiples and premature babies, breast pumps are also popular with mums who want to continue breastfeeding after they return to work. Breast pumps can be manual or electric, and all electric pumps can be single or double.Manual pumps are designed for occasional use but are cheaper and lightweight. Electric pumps might be more efficient but are more expensive, noisier and bulkier.If you need to express infrequently or for a short period, consider hand expressing or hiring an electric pump.
