Which Electric Breast Pump is best?
I was thinking of getting a breast pump and I have heard the manual ones take ages so have been recommended the electric one.
I was planning on breast feeding, however, was going to pick up a few bottles so DH can do a few feeds as well.
I was going to use the Avent ones, but recently was recommended the Tommee Tippee - Close to Nature ones.
Does anyone have any recommendations / suggestions?
Many Thanks in advance.

Medela pumps are very good, can get mini electric or can buy lactaset that is manual pump but can connect to hired elect medela pump.
Lots of people swear by avent.
I personally couldnt express very much at all yet had plenty of milk as DS thriving, i hired an elect medela throught ABA.
You can also hand express, I have a friend who could sxpress more by hand than with a pump.
Good luck I reccommend joining ABA for support and discounts.

I have the Medela pump in style advance for double pumping (I pump full time) I have heard not so great things about the smaller Medela pumps except for the Swing. Its meant to be good for a single pump.

I second this, I loved my medela swing for the time that i used it. Gentle quick and oh so portable.

I also recommend the Medela Swing! Its on special at Baby Bunting at the moment with a free bag that has four bottles, an ice pack and an insultated bag. Awesome for expressing while out and about!
It also takes batteries which is great if you need to express in random places without power points (eg the toilet at a restaurant, yes I have done it!) and its quiet too, which is also perfect for odd places!
