A breast pump imitates your baby sucking on the breast. The pump collects the mother milk that's so important for your little one. This is useful if you want to stimulate your milk production or when you're not near your child. Which breast pump is the most suitable for you depends on your preferences. There are 2 different types of breast pumps, a manual pump and an electric pump. The manual pump is compact and easy to take with you. But an electrical breast pump is faster. In addition, you can choose between a single or double breast pump. A double sided breast pump works fast and gets the milk production going better. A single breast pump is smaller and often more affordable, but it takes longer to pump.
