My right boob stopped responding to an electric pump so it's all manual for me now. Same amount of pumping time but I get more and way less of a hassle. Transporting back and forth to work was irritating me, plus I had to use coconut oil & a heating pad with the electric, don't need any of that with my manual.
I hope the manual one I just ordered works well cause the double electric is not cutting it for me. I'm gonna try doing a combo- pump one side with the manual and one with the electric since I don't have a lot of time to pump at work.
I just picked up a brand new, box never opened medela hand pump for $20. So far, I haven't been able to get any milk from it. Not sure why???? With my electric I get about 2-3 OZ. I was hoping I'd get a bit more with the manual Ha!
I also just bought a manual. Mainly for travelling this weekend. I've only used it once and it wasn't too bad. I'm hoping I find it more useful in the future!
