I've bought the Medela Swing for when my baby arrives, it's supposed to be one of the best on the market, and could be top on Which?

I know Amazon were selling them for £63 but that was last week with Black Friday

The NCT shop has them for £85 at the moment. If not they do the Medela Mini, and it's around £55, supposed to be very good too.

Hope this helps x

most maternity units and health visitors let you hire them for a small deposit.

for 5 months i expressed every feed for my daughter. the best pump i found was the avent electric pump. before getting the avent i used the TT closer to nature and medela electric pumps and both were rubbish. the avent one was so much better, well worth the £90 i paid.

I used the Medula Swing too, pricey but excellent.

You can hire pumps from the NCT, I did not realise this until I had shelled out £90 on mine! :eek: I did however manage to sell it on ebay recently for about £60 as I had finished with it so you can re-coup some costs by selling them on

I had an avent electric pump which was great until in my sleep deprived state I dumped the electric bit in the washing up bowl with the washable bits! I got a very lightly used replacement much cheaper on ebay than the full amount I had paid for my new one.

I found the Avent pump best as well. I used the manual one with DD1 and found it fantastic, so got the electric one for DD2 and DD3.

When DD3 was in hospital as a baby and refusing to feed, I was given a hospital pump to use and I found it much more difficult to use and not as comfortable.
