    Electric breast pump

    I used to have an Avent electric breast pump, but I sold it when I thought we were done after DD2. Been looking for another one to buy but can only find manual ones. Do they not make electric ones anymore?

    What else is good, around the same price, electric (RSI so manual isn't really do-able for me) and readily find-able? I'm seriously struggling keeping DD3 on the breast with a decent attachment when she gets tired so I need to get going expressing so I can top her up and hopefully save my nipples in the process.

    Thanks.

    I love my Medea swing. I haven't seen many electric pumps in shops but lots online. Shop around for a good price. If you are an ABA member mothers direct have 20% off all stock at the moment

    Just an avent one, or any brand? I have a Medela Swing which is fantastic and not too pricey, nice small size etc. My all time favourite pump is a Medela Pump In Style, which I believe you cannot buy in Aus anymore but can buy online from the USA. Best pump ever, but more expensive. A Swing is easily enough for normal pumpimg.

    Any kind PZ. Only prerequisites are electric and efficient.

    Another vote for Medela Swing. It's great. Check Mother's Direct.

    Another for the swing I even think there's a deal on with bonus accessories on the mothers direct (you can get there through the aba site) website. And I can recommend their support re pumps too when I was having an issue with my pumps (have the medela mini electric as well) they were helpful in where & what I could do about them.

    I love my Medela Swing- small, light, easy to store and pack as it's flat, and easy to use. I bought mine from Nursing Angel for a good price (mods: not sure if I can name stores? Apologies if not!)
