A significant number of breastfeeding mothers work. If you breastfeed your baby and have a full time job, or you have to be away for extended periods of time, you may have to pump your breasts to extract breast milk. Choosing the best breast pump can be difficult. You have to consider where and how often you will need to pump. If you have to express your milk several times a day, you will need an efficient, hospital grade pump.
There are different types of breast pumps. The manual type is cheap but can be tiring to use. Manual models are recommended for nursing mothers who only have to pump their breasts occasionally. If you have to extract your milk on a regular basis, an electric model is better for you. In fact, a hospital grade pump with double collection kit may be necessary if you have to pump throughout the day.
Hospital grade pumps are very expensive and may easily cost ,500. However, they are the most efficient pumps with a cycle time (suck-and-release time) similar to that of a nursing baby. A pump with a double collection kit allows you to pump both breasts simultaneously. This cuts down the pumping time by at least a half and drains both breasts more efficiently. These pumps provide enough suction power to stimulate the breasts so that your breast milk production will be maintained or even increased.
Unlike personal use pumps, the hospital models can be used by more than one mother. They are designed to prevent cross contamination. However, each mother must use her own collection kit.
In addition to being more expensive, these pumps are heavy and bulky. They are less portable than personal pumps. They are also more durable and come with a 3 to 5 year warranty, compared to a 1-year warranty for the personal pumps. Mothers do not really have to buy a hospital grade model as these devices are available as rentals from local hospitals or a lactation consultant.
You may need a heavy duty one for the following situations: premature or sick infants, twins or other multiple births, to induce lactation, or to increase milk supply.
New mothers who may have to decide on buying the right breast pump can take the opportunity to rent a hospital grade breast pump. This will help them understand what to look for in a breast pump. A lactation consultant can help you determine what type of pump is best, based on your pumping needs.

Many new mothers choose to get used breast pumps to feed their babies to save money, but they should be careful. Even though used breast pumps are more affordable than new ones, there are possible legal and health implications involved.
A breast pump labeled "single user" should both be legally sold according to the FDA, as it is intended only for one user. Reselling such pumps is not in accordance with the FDA. Hence, the FDA can take legal action against such sales.
Many breast pumps are designated as ""single user"" devices since they cannot be cleaned completely to ensure that the breast milk of the original user is not still within the pump system. Because of this, the possibilities of transmitting diseases through a used breast pump exist. It is suggested to read the operating instructions that came with the breast pump at the time of purchasing it to find out the designation given to the pump by the FDA
Some of the single-user breast pumps are Avent breast pumps, The Ameda ® Purely Yours breast pump, WhisperWear® breast pump, and the Medela Pump In Style® breast pump.
Some breast pumps that are not labeled ""single user"" devices are Medela Classic(TM) breast pump, Medela Lactina® breast pump, Ameda Lact-E ® breast pump, and Ameda Elite® breast pump.
Usually the hospital grade breast pumps and pumps often used specifically as rental pumps are the multi user designated pumps.
When considering selling or buying a used breast pump, determine whether or not the pump is a ""single user"" pump. Find out from the seller and check the product information to be sure.
To be safe, breast pumps must never be shared, resold, or borrowed among mothers. Product warranty given on a single user breast pump becomes void by multiple users.
Rental pumps are safe to use by multiple mothers who have their own personal kits. However, they should be used according to the instructions, Ameda sells personal pump kits approved by the FDA.
