Full Version: Breast pump advice

Hi
Assuming that breastfeeding works ok for me I have been starting to think about breast pumps as I am sure I will be doing some expressing with twins.
I am thinking the best option is to hire a good hospital grade pump from the hospital pharmacy at $20 pw as I assume this will work a lot quicker and easier than buying a domestic electric pump.
I am just wondering what everyone else has done.
Thanks
Lisa

We bought a Modela electric double breast pump and this saw me through many months of breastfeeding with my twins and my subsequent third child. It definitely worked out a lot cheaper for us to buy it although we did rent for the first fortnight to see if we were going to have a use for it long term etc.
Best of luck, Maycee

Hi There,
I remembered there was a discussion about this a couple of months ago. I found the thread:
