Just wondering what brand of pump do you have and is it manual or electric? What would you recommend. ------------- http://lilyslim.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I have an Avent Isis manual, but tried a Medela Swing Electric and found it so much better!! It mimics a babies sucking, so has a let down reflex etc. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I used a hand pump (Medela) for months. It was fine but required both hands which was a bit of a pain for pumping more than once/day. I got a Medela swing from a friend and it's great (pumping right now in fact). Very gentle on the nipple and has a start up that triggers your let down. To be honest though, it was faster with the manual pump. ------------- Adoring Mum to Talisin 8/9/11 and Kiara 18/01/10 |

Avent Isis Duo electric pump. It's amazing, you start manually pumping and then press a button and it does the rest for you. Only got it because a lady I knew got it but didnt work for her... costs something like $400 so I would have never bought it new! -------------
