Pump recommendations
Any recommendations for hands free pumps? Also is it best to buy a single or double and when is the best time to pump as I don’t want to create an oversupply. My new born is almost 4 weeks and I’ll start pumping next week

@Olivia are you still mainly breastfeeding? Did you get a single or double pump ? Do you pump before or after a feed?
yess still breast feeding but we also formula feed so its sort of a big mix, I got the double pump as it just makes it a bit quicker if I'm not feeding her, I normally pump before and then give her the bottle but also after I feed her as I think its mimics baby feeding if that makes sense
Thanks @Olivia - how long did you wait before pumping as midwives are telling me to wait 6 weeks for breastfeeding to be established
i started with the handpump when she was a couple of days and the wearble pump ive been using for the last two weeks my lo is also almost 4 weeks

ive got the momcozy m5 and quite like it comfortable to move around and be busy, but also pump while feeding, I try to pump every 2-3 hours for 15 mins on both sides - pump just enough for a feed basically i also try to pump between 2-4am as that's when the milk is at its peak
