I am buying a new breast pump as my avent pump has just broken and I wanted to consult the wisdom of the forum before making my purchase.?

I was generally happy with the Avent one and it had a lot of use but I was wondering whether electric ones were any better? And is it worth getting a double one??


I was considering the lansinoh double electric one, so if anyone has any experience of this one, it would be a great help.


All advice much appreciated! Thanks

I've had Ameda lactaline personal for years. Double pump, electric. It's very good. I've had two. The first saw me through nearly two babies with 3x daily use 5 days a week for about 8 months both times. It then started to splutter a bit so I bought a new one - slightly updated, different shape but just as good.
I used an Avent single electric once or twice a day for quite a few months, then tried a double - the Ameda Lactaline. I now really regret not getting one of those in the first place as it was SO much faster. It was also easier to used as the heavy motor is not attached to the funnel (you express on one side while feeding on the other without too much problem.

If I was doing it all again....

Go for the Double Pump!


I wish I had done. Pumping is time consuming, and hard to fit in between real bf feeds if you're trying to boost supply. I think I would have gone longer with ebf if I'd had a double pump.


Was considering making an offer on one myself but I think it's too late to get back to ebf.

I had three different manual pumps and got on with them fine, seemed quick and easy enough to me, used to pump whilst lo napped. Was fortunate enough to have a good milk supply and easy let down too which helped. Then one of friends came to visit and was a shocked I was pumping with a manual and bought me the ameda lactaline double electric, although I didnt think I needed it, it was soooo much quicker and easier and I wouldn't go back to a manual now unless away for a night or something...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
