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...

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
