Breast pumps can be a great investment to help express milk. Whether you're choosing to share feeding duties with a partner, want to build a stash for later, need to increase or maintain your supply when you're away from baby, or just want to have a pump on hand just in case, you'll find a breast pump to suit your needs. At Baby Bunting, we stock a wide variety of manual and electric breast pumps to help support your breastfeeding journey.
Electric breast pumps are devices that express milk without you having to actively move your hands. They work by mimicking a baby's natural suckling movements through a suction and release pattern. The pump initiates milk let down and as breast milk begins to flow, milk is caught in bottles or containers. The breast shields must sit over the nipple and the areola to create a seal, allowing the milk to be gently pulled into the breast shield.
Electric breast pumps are a great device to have as all work is electronic and doesn't require any manual pumping or effort on your behalf. Electric breast pumps can be a little more expensive, so if you have any questions, make sure to contact our customer care team to help you make the right choice of breast pump. If you're planning to exlusively feed expressed breastmilk, or if baby has latching or milk tranfer issues that mean pumping is important to your feeding journey, investing in an electric pump will save you time and effort in the long run.
Manual breast pumps differ from electric breast pumps as it requires your hand to power the pumping action. Manual breast pumps are usually cheaper than electronic ones and have many benefits.
Manual pumps don't require you to charge them or have access to mains power to use them; they are lightweight and easy to pack into bags; and they give you some extra flexibility to change the pace and length of each pump as you go.
