Best Double Electric Breast Pump for Working Mothers

!±8± Best Double Electric Breast Pump for Working Mothers

Mothers who have to pump their breast milk at least once a day should consider investing in a double electric breast pump. This device is very useful especially for working mothers who need to drain their breast effectively to maintain their breast milk supply. A double electric pump saves time because both breasts can be pumped at once, instead of only one side at a time. It is also portable and durable enough to withstand frequent travel to the office.

Some double pumps are battery-powered. A few manual pumps also exist. These types of double breast pumps have lower suctioning power, particularly the manual type. The manual types can be tiring to use if breast milk has to be expressed regularly. Electric models are sturdier and more reliable but can cost a few hundred dollars. Hospital models are the most reliable and effective and they can be easily converted to double.

A double pump consists of suctioning equipment that uses two cups. This type saves time and prevents milk from being wasted. Because both breasts are in cups, milk leaking from the breasts is automatically saved in the milk collection apparatus.

An electric double pump is more efficient because both breasts are simultaneously stimulated. The milk flows more quickly and pumping time is greatly reduced. Less milk also goes to waste.

Frequent use of a double pump may cause the breasts to be easily stimulated, so that even if only one breast is pumped or used to nurse, both breasts will leak milk. This problem, however, can be resolved with time.

Electric double pumps can be expensive. Some women also find it difficult to engage and disengage the cups. However, this depends on the model of the cups or apparatus. Hands-free models are available for greater convenience.

Several brands and models of double electric breast pumps are available. The Medela Pump in Style Advanced Double Electric Breast Pump is one of the more popular models. It features a new pumping technology that closely mimics a baby's suckling. The pump suction can also be adjusted manually. It is quiet and easy to use, and comes in a backpack or messenger style bag. Accessories include an AC adapter, battery pack, manual pump, and milk cooler bag.

The Playtex Embrace comes with a hospital-grade motor. It features unique soft breast cups that give a realistic feel of a baby's mouth. The pump has five suction and speed levels and comes with a carrying case.

Other models are available, including the Ameda Purely Yours and the Lansinoh Double Electric Breast Pump.
