Being a new mom you’ll soon find out that those first few months after giving birth to your baby all that you’ll want at first is to hibernate at home with your little one and have bonding days filled with breast feeding and diaper changing. Eventually though, you may start to feel a bit claustrophobic and find yourself wanting to get out a bit and talk anything other than baby, nappies, or naptime. And if you’re breastfeeding when you start to feel this way, a breast pump will be your best friend because its a great way for you to get the alone time that you need while making sure that your baby still enjoys the breastmilk that’s so good for them. These are the pro’s and cons of a manual vs an electric breast pump:
