Women are having to choose from a number of different types of breast pumps these days. There are many different brands and different styles of breast pumps. The problem that most women have is choosing the best breast pump to fit their lifestyle. With so many different brands on the market, such as Medela, Ameda, Avent and Evenflo, it is hard for women to choose the best breast pump. The first thing to decide is what style fits your lifestyle and budget. There are many different types of pumps, such as hands free electric pumps, hospital grade pumps, and manual pumps.
We will first explore the electric breast pumps. The electric pumps come in two different types, hand-free and pumps that require the use of your hands. The hands-free pumps are very nice for you mobility. They run on a rechargeable battery and are very small and lightweight to allow you the ability to move around while pumping. These normally come in a stylish tote that is easy to take on the run. These hands-free pumps are a little more expensive, normally in the upper 0's. The other electric pumps still allow you to take your pump to work or wherever you busy life takes you, but they are plug in pumps that do not allow you the freedom of moving around. They do come in a stylish tote or back pack for when you take your pump on the road. These pumps normally run in the low 0's. Both of these style of pumps come with an insulated cooler for storing.
Next we will go through the hospital grade breast pumps. The hospital grade pumps are for long term daily use. There are plug in and rechargeable battery pumps in the hospital grade breast pumps. These pumps are normally a little bigger and bulky. These pumps are not very mobile. The cost on these pumps run in the 00+ range. Normally hospital will show you how to pump with these, but for everyday use there are more convenient and cheaper pumps to buy.
The other option is the manual breast pumps. These pumps can be a very inexpensive and easy to take wherever you need to go. If you budget is tight the manual breast pumps may be the option for you. The starting price on these pumps are in the mid 's and go up from there. They have two different types of manual pumps. The pedal pumps allow you to pump with you feet while you use your hands to hold the bottle. There is also the hand held manual breast pumps that allows you to pump by squeezing the pump with your hands. This is a little more challenging, but can be a very good choice for someone with a tight budget.
With all the different types breast pumps the best thing to do is decide what fits in your budget and then compare the brands. I also recommend reading as many reviews as possible and to see what real people think of these products. By reading the reviews you can surely find the best breast pumps on the market.
