My little one will be 4 weeks old on Saturday and I have exclusively breastfed since he was born. I'm now thinking about starting to express, so my partner can be part of feeding too. Does anyone have any pump recommendations? Also when do you usually pump when still feeding the majority of the time? I feel a bit clueless so any hints and tips are welcome ♥️

I bought this pump and even though it’s cheaper than others, it’s been great. I get the most when I pump in the morning. I do a second pump in the evening and it varies in what I get. Try to pump after feeds to avoid over supple and painful boobs.

thank you! That pump looks great!

A Hakka is also a great alternative if you don’t want loads of milk, you attach to the other boobs when feeding and it collects the over supply but with no pumping or electrics involved 😊

I use momcozy pump and i have the elvie cups for throughout the day so you dont have to wear pads and it catches this excess milk

I have the Bellababy from Amazon - it was £45 for a double pump and works really well! I normally pump in the morning or whenever I get a chance, I feel there is still not much routine for us at this stage 😂

I have the momcozy pro which is ok but fiddly to assemble. Alternatively I use a Hakka during night feeding and consistently get 3oz a night, and so much quicker to sterilise!

I've for the momcozy s12. Love it. I'm trying to pump occasionally now to build up a stash in the freezer for my OH or grandparents to have when required. I read an article about this that said supply is highest in the morning so advised pumping for 10 - 15 mins after your babba has fed in the morning to pump the excess. But recommended waiting until 6 weeks to start this so as not to interfere with your supply / demand balance. I'll try and find the link to the article.

I got mine second hand for 5£ just sterilised it bellabeat I think electric but my friend says there’s some you can literally stick in your bra whilst up n about. Well worth it if you can afford it I try to pump one side while I’m breastfeeding the other then switch me t time round
