does anyone have any recommendations for a breast pump that is easy to use/clean etc. I'm currently thinking of getting a manual one but am open to suggestions on electric ones, if manual pumps are no good.... any advice appreciated! ↓
Check out this website, the links on the right side have advice on choosing a pump.

When you decide, I would also suggest these breast shields from Pumpin Pal. They are so much more comfortable than the ones that come with the pumps and they allow you to sit back a little. I also got more milk out.
Manual pumps are great - the hospital gave me one for free and I had that thing for a long time and tossed it out right before I learned I was pg with number 2 I would have loved to have it for when we traveled instead of bringing a big bulky electric pump it worked great! ↑
I have a manual Avent one which is very easy to use and avaliable in the UK where I am! It's simple to use, quiet and you can express into little tubs for the freezer or straight into a bottle. My little girl was in intensive care for the first week so we had an electric one at the hospital but I find this one much more comfortable and easier to use and recently went to Scotland with me no probs. Good luck. ↑
