I am a housewife.Should I go for a manual breast pump or electric Bp for my baby?which i sthe best manual/electric bp? roop replied. I bought a manual one when had my first baby. Cost me good 1200 Rs. Its a pain to keep pumping it manually. It takes long, the hand aches. Though the option is definitely better than manually expressing milk.

Now i feel i shd hv better got an automatic (battery/electric/both). It costs little more than manual. I needed it for second baby too.

Get one that comes with bottle so u can directly fill it in bottle. Minnu K replied. Hi,

I used to use an electric pump from Medela. I would recommend an electric pump if you plan to use it regularly. It will be much less stressful and quicker than the manual pump. Also the electric pump will be more useful in maintaining milk supply.

Hope this helps. In the US, you can get Medela pumps on rent. If in India, you can goto Medela'.'com and look for dealers in your city.

Thanks, supriyasanoj replied. If you are regualarly breastfeeding and just plan on giving in bottle,say while going out or someother reason you can have manual pump.because i got a manual one as i fed my kids i almost never used it only sometimes when i got engorged.
my friend was regularly giving breastmilk in bottle so she had a electric one.
there are manual cum battery operated in the markets too.electric ones will be expensive compared to manual.but fingers starts to ache afterfew minutes of pumping with manual.
i used evenflo,there is avent,gerber etc.
