> Manual vs electric breast pumps - what is the difference?
When comparing manual and electric breast pumps, here's a breakdown of their features and considerations:
Manual Breast Pumps:
- Hand-operated and requires manual squeezing to create suction and express milk.
- Can only be used for one breast at a time.
- Suitable for occasional use or for mums on a budget.
- Generally less expensive than electric breast pumps.
- May require more effort and time to express milk compared to electric pumps.
- Portable and convenient for on-the-go use.
Electric Breast Pumps:
- Automatically and electrically powered, doing the work for you.
- Available as single or double breast pumps, allowing simultaneous expression from both breasts.
- More effective and efficient in expressing milk.
- Ideal for frequent or daily use, especially for working mothers or those who need to express larger quantities of milk.
- Generally more expensive than manual pumps.
- Provides convenience and saves time during expressing sessions.
- Some models offer adjustable suction and speed settings for personalised comfort.
Choosing between a manual and electric breast pump depends on your specific needs, budget, and frequency of use. Consider factors such as convenience, efficiency, cost, and your breastfeeding routine to make an informed decision that suits your circumstances best.
> Do you need a breast pump?
Having a breast pump can be highly beneficial for breastfeeding mothers, but the decision to purchase one ultimately depends on your specific circumstances and preferences. Here are some considerations to help you decide:1. Breastfeeding goals: If you plan to breastfeed your baby, a breast pump can be valuable in several situations. It allows you to express and store breast milk for times when you can't directly breastfeed, such as when returning to work, going on outings, or establishing a milk supply.
2. Flexibility and convenience: A breast pump provides flexibility, allowing other caregivers to feed your baby with expressed milk. It also offers convenience when you need to manage engorgement, regulate milk supply, or relieve discomfort.
3. Personal preference: Consider your comfort level and lifestyle. Some mothers may find expressing milk by hand sufficient, while others prefer the ease and automation of an electric pump.
Ultimately, the decision to purchase a breast pump depends on your individual needs, budget, and breastfeeding goals. It may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or seeking advice from other breastfeeding mothers to help inform your decision.

Lulu
"Definitely a great drinking cup for daily use. It is compact, lightweight and easy to grip. The bright colours make it more appealing to the little one. I personally found it is easy to take apart and clean. So far we love it!"
Maddy
I bought it a month ago, seems to work fine. My babies skin is not red anymore. Feels good to use on my baby.
Bec G
"This bottle is great for my 9 month old. It’s light weight and he is able to independently drink from the bottle. The weighted straw makes it easy for him to drink from all angles."
Phil
"I’m a big fan of the liquid cleanser, so I thought I’d give this baby bottle spray a try. It works really well for quick cleans and wipe-downs. Just like the cleanser, it doesn’t leave any chemical smell, and you don’t have to spend ages wiping to make sure everything’s clean."
Love this teat!!!!
"I bought this tonight for my 5 mo after trying 5 other brands of bottles and at my wits end. The teat was exactly what I was looking for and he didn’t resist it being given as much as he would the others. Cannot wait to try more and hopefully transition!!! Thank you!"
