Just a little memo for all you mummies. Should you have a premature baby that needs to spend time in the special care unit, the best thing you will ever purchase is an electric breast pump!
I was not been fooled by any fad items and purchased a manual one, why spend so much more when they both do the same job?
I however really struggled with expressing, it is so much harder when you don't have your baby with you, crying, telling your body what it needs to do. And all the other mums who's babies are in the same unit have agreed with me.
But the electric pump was the best thing I've ever done. I'm managing to express what my daughter needs to grow big and strong 😀

Which electric breast pump do you use? Xx

I think I got an avent one. It was reduced from £119 to I think around £59 in mothercare. They can be really expensive and I think there is a brand that had yellow packaging which is the same brand as the ones they have in the hospital my baby is in, I can't remember the name but it was pretty expensive x
