If you know the following information already please ignore it. It is best to exclusively bf bub until your milk supply is well and truely established, this can take up to 3 months. When introducing a bottle at an early stage you may find bub will prefer the bottle and you may not be able to express successfully, thus bub will end up on formula before you know it. I know it happened twice to me.


To answer your question: I have a avent pump and I thought it was ok. I think a better option is to hire an electric breast pump. You can hire them from the ABA (Australian Breast Feeding Association). This way you can try using a electric pump without the massive outlay. HTH
