Hi - jumping over from third tri but am sure I'll be over here more often in about 5 or so weeks
I'm going to be working 2 days a week so I won't have to pump all that often and I hoping not to spend hundreds of dollars on a pump. So, i figured a hand pump would work just fine. Which hand pumps have you used and reccommend?
Thanks!
Re: Hand Pump Rec's
I love my Avent hand pump that came with my dual electric pump kit...I never thought I would need a pump and have used it a ton. It became especially helpful when I wanted to have DH give DS middle of the night and bed time bottles (we had to go to bottles bc DS wouldn't feed well at night and would be up a lot and would not get a full feed before bed bc he would sleep on the boob). I also used my pump a lot when I got mastitis when DS was 4 weeks old, when I got a major plugged duct at 10 weeks, and when I got a milk blister a couple of weeks ago.
I would highly recommend getting a pump...worst case scenario you can return it if you don't open and sterilize everything...
