Pumping Gonna try pumping for the first time today , my baby is five weeks old today , gonna hand pump instead of the…

I've never used the electric pump. But personally I really like being in control of how much I'm pumping. And the intensity of it :)

I just started pumping with a manual pump yesterday. I haven't really gotten much milk out yet (not really sure what to expect) but I've heard that the more you pump the more you produce. Please let us know how it goes.

I prefer the machine over the hand pump, I feel like I get more out. You just have to know how to work the machine to get the best out of it

I have both! I like the convenience of the hand pump (easy to clean and to transport and still gets the same amount out) but I like the electric because I double pump and can do it hands free so use it when I have lots to get out! I do believe anyone could get by with just the manual tho

I preferred the manual pump with both my prior kids.

I have a manual pump because I pump so little, that it's not worth it to spend money on an electric pump.

I got my pump for free technically, my mother in law bought it for me from one of her friends that had had twins and never used it
