Aidyn wasnt attaching to me as well, so I had to pump about 8 times a day... I ended up going through 2 different types of manual Pigeon pumps (the first one broke, and the second one just didnt work very well), then I brought the manual Medela pump, which was v.good, but by that time I was just sick of expressing as it took so much time, and my supply was drying up. Next time I know how worth it, it is to spend the money upfront on an electric pump!
