Thanks girls

I was looking at getting one of the electric dual ones as when I expressed last time as soon as I started pumping one side, the other side literally just spurted everywhere
Everyone told me this would settle down but I think DS was at least 4 months old before it settled down, and even then I continuously leaked from the side not being expressed.

Amy - thanks for the info about the ABA telling you not to express too much
I remember them saying the same to me too - I would love to donate to the banks but sounds like I won't be able to if there's none in Sydney

I wanted to express for that purpose - but also so I had some in the house for DH & DS to be able to feed bub every now & then for their own bonding purposes - and also to mix with the cereal etc once solids begin (and also if we need to leave bub with someone over feeding times etc).

I did also really need the pump last time - I hand expressed when I was in a little pain due to oversupply but apart from being slow & not so comfortable, just watching it go down the drain in the shower seemed like such a waste to me If I'm expressing it into something to store, at least it will go to good use (somehow )

I also really wanted to make sure that one type of pump wasn't better than the other as far as breast care went - because if one type wasn't so great, you can bet thats the one I would've gotten
