Breast Pumps - Electric or Manual, what do you suggest?
Hi Girls
I have been looking into breast pumps and have had really mixed reviews, some friends on BE have said without doubt choose an electric one, preferably Medula swing, however this is sooo expensive unless you can get it at bargain price or second hand on ebay. Not sure about second hand.
How do people rate the tommee tippee closer to nature ones, they seem more reasonably priced.
However, loads of other friends have said they just didn't get on with electric, as they just felt like a cow in a milking factory and the pump was very harsh on on the nipples and sucktion very strong and hurt, so would reccomend a manual one as you can gently control the amount of milk you siphon off, just to relieve full boobs if anything..
What do you think?? I'm on a budget and don't really want to get both, just wanted some useful opinions, so I can maybe get one.

i figure as it was cheap, if i dont get on with it, its no big loss.
but go check out tk maxx, they had loads of breast feeding stuff on quite cheap.
Don't think I'd ever turn to an electric pump presonally. I like to be in control of the 'pump' action
