I wish I'd read something like this back when I was choosing a breast pump as a double electric or hospital grade would have been better for me as I was trying to increase my milk supply and supplementing.<br /><br />My top tip would be to take it one breastfeed at a time.Adele Jarrett-Kerr @ circusqueen.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113223035389414807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591147155486850075.post-78186370212374281962012-06-11T04:21:32.766-07:002012-06-11T04:21:32.766-07:00Cherish every moment - when my 15 month old starte...Cherish every moment - when my 15 month old started sleeping through the night and stopped accepting boobie milk I was heartbroken.candise382https://www.blogger.com/profile/16675694474550012990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591147155486850075.post-61122709255882192982012-06-10T15:21:41.159-07:002012-06-10T15:21:41.159-07:00Fab post!

I expressed for almost a month with my little man as he was born with Pan Hypopituitarism and had to be in intensive care for 2 weeks then transitional care for 2 weeks. This meant I had access to a hospital breast pump everyday - it was fabulous!!! Even if it did make me feel like I was a cow bring milked with its double electric pumps! :) I then continued to use a single electric pump that I bought when baby was not allowed to Breastfeed naturally (due to the hospital needing to know EXACTLY his intake of milk). I got on ok with it but with it ring battery powered it just wasn't as powerful as the hospital ones so I struggled to keep up with my baby's demands .., after the month of stress etc, my milk dried up. I did try a hand pump and found it pretty unless to be honest but I guess it depends on your circumstances :)hannahmdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09414690457546382386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591147155486850075.post-78307737932165246422012-06-10T13:03:33.637-07:002012-06-10T13:03:33.637-07:00I expressed for six months when my daughter wouldn...I expressed for six months when my daughter wouldn't latch on. I would have been lost without my electric pump! My breastfeeding tip is join a breastfeeding support group, they really do give you a lift when times are toughAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496005349016149018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591147155486850075.post-5086812527319921002012-06-10T12:41:45.981-07:002012-06-10T12:41:45.981-07:00This is really useful, some practical advice about...This is really useful, some practical advice about pump selection and types would have been very useful when I got my pump I had no idea at all what to look for.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062056285040676205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591147155486850075.post-48955949437331959852012-06-10T06:23:59.554-07:002012-06-10T06:23:59.554-07:00I see it all the time, Mums are sent home with no ...I see it all the time, Mums are sent home with no info other than "go buy a pump" when things aren't going so great yet at the breast with no real guidnace on what kind of pump or even which brand or where to get them. You are not alone, I've seen a good few Mums pumping 2 times a day on day 5 with a manual pump wondering why it's not working. Maybe a handout would be good?BoobieMilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407330119875959165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591147155486850075.post-65107053030830530742012-06-10T05:51:50.112-07:002012-06-10T05:51:50.112-07:00This is very interesting, thank you.

I'm thinking that hiring a hospital grade one in the early days for my baby due in Oct might help get my supply going given that I have hypoplasia and it took ages for my milk to even come in let alone build up supply with my son. I was given use of pump in hospital when he was readmitted with dehydration at 6 days old, but when I went home just used a single electric one, which, looking back, was probably not good enough for what I really needed. Interesting to read the difference between the pumps.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452812906603346084noreply@blogger.com
