Personally, I pumped at 4am when milk production and quality is thought to be at its highest. I would then store the milk in the freezer and save it for occasions where my boobs were out of action e.g. when I was attending a wedding that I wanted to drink at, or when I was out for dinner in the evening and my husband was in charge of feeding baby. Based on questionnaire results for 1k cushion from clinical trial with 20 participants (Netherlands, 2019) Noise levels: How noisy is the electric breast pump?

I am very happy when I used Avent Phillips breast pump, it is very comfortable to the breast. The suction is very gentle even in the highest setting. It also produced the most amount of breast milk in 2 minutes of using it. Shopping for a breast pump can be a bit of a minefield because no two parents are the same. While one mum might prioritise the efficiency of a breast pump - with timesaving at the top of their list - another may put comfort at the forefront, especially if they're struggling to express milk or suffering from engorged nipples. As such, we've tried to cover all bases, compiling a selection of affordable and high-end breast pumps for mums short on time and mums with nipples that are in need of a little extra tentative care and TLC. We've also looked at some brilliant manual breast pumps that are super efficient and purse-friendly. Mamas, we've got you. Overall, I am incredibly impressed with this pump! I am so happy that I was selected to try it and able to utilize it to the fullest. The only improvement I would make would be for this pump to be completely portable - aka it can be used on a battery and not have to be plugged in.Electric pumps are more powerful than manual pumps, meaning it takes less time to collect the milk you need,” says Tania Boler, Founder and President of Elvie. “An electric breast pump is a great choice for women who express regularly or choose to exclusively breastfeed. They are also perfect for mothers who need to express once they’ve returned to work and may be limited on time.”

The best breast pump Ive ever used [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this great breast pump as part of Stellar Product Testing Panel but I kid you not, I will buy this with my own money after trying this pump. I have 3 children and currently breastfeeding the youngest one. I have tried and used other breast pump brands out there- manual, single and double electric pump. I actually dreaded pumping due to the frustration it gives me everytime I can't produce enough output, uncomfortable suction and makes my breast sore after pumping. Mangel et al.
