What do you ladies prefer, manual or electric breast pump and why? Also, which brands would you recommend?
electric. I use my little hands free bra and pump both breasts at the same time. just convenient and let the machine do it's job
I haven't used one yet, but I have heard great things about the Spectra S2. I'm getting through my insurance.
I have an Ameda double electric and an Evenflo manual, and I like both. It's honestly great to have both electric and manual. The electric is great at home- a lot faster, more efficient, and made for everyday use (manual aren't best for daily). But I love the manual to have in the diaper bag and take with me on the go.
I have the medela pump, it's both electric and manual. I found that with my first son I got more milk out if I manually pumped. I don't think my boobs liked being sucked so quickly.
