I telecommute, so I put in a typical 8-5 workday from my home office. Once the baby arrives and I am done with my maternity leave, she will go to a daycare during the workday (DH works in an office setting). Every time I see pumps recommended, they are double electric ones that are good for pumping while at work. However, since I am home by myself all day, and will be able to pump while I'm at the computer, do I need to invest in such an expensive model, or is there an option that may be better suited for me?
Thanks!
Re: Type of Pump if you Work at Home
You are going to need a good pump if you plan on working a typical 8-5 workday being away from your LO. The less expensive models are designed for mothers who typically SAH and would like to pump a few bottles here and there so they can be separated from their LO on occasion, not every day.
Even if you don't think you will need the handsfree option, you are still going to want to get a more advanced model, like the Medela PISA or better.
