looking for advise from moms on which breast pumps are best?

Medela pump in style electric pump!!

Honestly don't even mess around with that hand pump crap!!

Check your insurance for what they cover, also check second time around stores/sites/eBay. Just always get new plastics for the milk/cups!

You can pump with DDs don't let anyone say you can't! Start reading about Breastfeeding!! Tons of amazing articals, support groups (Facebook has a million groups for nursing!) also ask to see a lactation consultant in the hospital! Don't stop until you get the results you want now a days the way the laws are in almost e dry country plus ability to find help there is no reason for anyone to say "I can't nurse!"

It's totally ok to use formula when you don't have the milk but breast is best!!

electric and try looking for a hospital grade one like medela that is what i used on the neonantal unit and you can by them off ebay or amazon
