Hi! I would definitely recommend the electric breast pump. With my 1st dd I used Pigeon brand and it did the job fairly well. Now thinking of switching to Medela of Avent to see if brand makes any difference. lol.
Whatever it is, must perservere with the pumping to establish good flow of milk. Good Luck, dear!

My personal advice is to latch on yr bb to increase ur supply since u would be ard for the next 2-3mths if u r working. It wouldn't be too late to get it after full month if u r gonna continue to bf.

i was using medela mini e during my ML. Find that it takes a long time for me... since decided to go back to work, need to quickly pump so using medela pump in style (PIS). Found it a lot better. Saves time and quite effective pump.

I'm using Ameda Dual..
Love it so much!!!
I previously used the Avent manual till I got so fed up.. Then I when down to BMSG to try out both PIS and Ameda.. Both are about the same so bought Ameda instead (cheaper by 50%)..
I'll advice that you go down to BMSG to try out after delivering yr baby. Then you can buy there cos it's cheaper than other places.. You can also join as their member to enjoy other privledges..
And most imptly, you WILL definitely have breast milk!! As long as you keep latching/ pumping, you will produce enough bm to bf yr baby!!
Jia you!!!:wong19:

i used avent manual for 2 years each for my 2 boys. so that's 4 years!! Love it love it. i found electric pumps too painful too strong and too noisy. avent manual is non-intimidating for first time moms, can press as lightly as you want, and also, can speed up or slow down depending on whether u are having a let down etc...
satellite,
if you are too concern, can try medela swing. Its a eletric pump, silent and can be battery- operated. Some ppl find electric pump too powerful, would cause sore nipple while battery-operated can be weak after nurmerous pumping rendering extraction less effective.. Try Medela swing, if you can afford. Can adjust the power too.

I'm wondering did your breast gets bigger when you are pregnant,feel any engorge/pain on it?
If i'm not wrong after asking around doing survey i think those who's breast get bigger when pregnant they will have milk supply. THose who did not does not have any milk supply at all even thou they latch on, pump out.
