Breast pumps make every mum’s life easier. They come in really handy when you are a working mum, or when you have twins. Also, using a breast pump helps a lot when you are lactating. Choosing the best breast pump can be challenging, so we gathered up everything you need when buying one plus the best 10 breast pumps chosen by mums in Dubai!
When buying a breast pump, here is what you should keep in mind:
1| Your budget
It is very important to set a budget and stick to it when buying the essentials you need for breastfeeding. You will be buying more things so it is really good to plan and set a budget to get everything you need.
2| Will you be pumping a lot?
If you are going to be pumping milk a lot, then it is best to get an electronic breast pump with double pumps. But if you are only using it a few time like when you are out, then a manual pump is perfect for you. We recommend a manual pump for light uses as it is easy to carry, easy to use, and you can easily put it in your handbag.
3| Material and quality
It is important to check the materials of the breast pump you are getting. It is important so it would not have any affects on your breast milk. Also, good materials make for good quality and long term usage, so you won’t have to buy a new breast pump every now and then.
