If you often find yourself needing to pump on the go, or at work, Medela’s new Harmony Flex Manual is a great choice. Despite its sturdy build quality, it weighs only 105 grams and is much easier to carry around than an electric pump. It's quiet and powerful. Do make sure you get flanges that fit you well - it does make a difference to output and comfort.

A double breast pump will reduce the length of time you need to spend attached to your device to get the milk out. How does breast pumping compare to breastfeeding?
