Whilst there is no doubt that breastfeeding is the best thing for your baby, there can be some complications with this. The times have changed and Stay-at-home moms are rare in this day and age. If you need to go back to work quite quickly after your baby is born – but you still want to breast feed, you are going to need a breast pump.

The medela electric breast pump is a great one to choose, as this is what is often used in hospitals, naturally the version for home use will be much smaller. This is a popular breast pump as it has a “let down” mode so it simulates baby’s sucking very closely.

The medela double electric breast pump is perfect for working mothers, as you can pump both breasts at once, therefore saving precious time when you go to work in the morning.

Whilst the medela electric breast pump is not the cheapest on the market, it is gentle, not at all painful and very quick. Much better to have a pain free experience than saving money on a cheaper model. There is also the option to buy second hand on eBay and then buy new medela breast pum parts for hygeine.
