I have the Medula Swing and it is brilliant, DS was prem so had to express for him until he was ready. I had the mini electric and managed to burn out the moter. When we went to buy a new one the lady in Baby Factory said the mini electric are only ment to used once a day and the swing was the cheapest one for using as many times as you wanted. I needed to express 6 times a day so we went with that one. I don't find it nearly as noisy as the mini electric. oh and it is really small aswell it even has a belt clip why I don't know it might be discreet but the shield and bottle sticking off ur boob isn't!!]]> Fri, 11 Jun 2010 22:30:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1060754&title=which-breast-pump#1060754 <![CDATA[Which Breast Pump??? : I have the Avent Isis electric...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059812&title=which-breast-pump#1059812 Author: MamaT

Avent Isis electric for me.

Tried the Medela mini electric and it really hurt me, was noisy and didnt get as much milk out as the Avent.]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 21:28:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059639&title=which-breast-pump#1059639 <![CDATA[Which Breast Pump??? : I noticed that about the Medela...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059559&title=which-breast-pump#1059559 Author: High9

I noticed that about the Medela ones, but I found them to be much more efficient at pumping. Although I haven't tried an Avent electric. The Avent manual is kinda noisey imo. ]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:49:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059559&title=which-breast-pump#1059559 <![CDATA[Which Breast Pump??? : I&#039;m using a medela at the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059480&title=which-breast-pump#1059480 Author: JAFAjaffa

I'm using a medela at the moment and I really like it EXCEPT for the amount of noise it makes! There is a parents room at work where I can keep the milk and express (there's a microwave, steriliser and fridge in there), but it isn't very sound proofed so I get to hear our Finance department having meetings and they get to hear me expressing. The noise didn't worry me at home, but it somehow seems really really loud at work!

I've heard the avent electric ones are quieter?]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:00:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059480&title=which-breast-pump#1059480 <![CDATA[Which Breast Pump??? : Another vote for medela swing ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059228&title=which-breast-pump#1059228 Author: Mrs_B

Another vote from me for the medela swing. I had to use it everyday for 5 months after returning to work and it was brilliant. Got mine 2nd hand off TM. It can be run off main power or batteries.]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:58:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059181&title=which-breast-pump#1059181 <![CDATA[Which Breast Pump??? : I have the Avent isis and find...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1059124&title=which-breast-pump#1059124 Author: JoJames

Thanks girls, think I will go with the medela mini electric. I have used it before and liked it. Only just realised it could run on batteries too!

Maisey if you are going to be working I would go with electric with battery option as manual pumps aren't often as effective.
I really like Medelas too. ]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 12:11:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1058879&title=which-breast-pump#1058879 <![CDATA[Which Breast Pump??? : I really love the Medela (sp?)...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1058808&title=which-breast-pump#1058808 Author: High9

I really love the Medela (sp?) ones, they are great! Especially the electric ones! (Got to try one out in hospital but then found it retails for $250+)

I have an Avent manual one and I find it does the job. Got it for about $100 I think...

TBH I prefer the electric ones, seems like less strain on your wrists iygwim. ]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:04:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1058808&title=which-breast-pump#1058808 <![CDATA[Which Breast Pump??? : Hi, I am returning to work soon...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33965&PID=1058788&title=which-breast-pump#1058788 Author: maisey

Hi,

I am returning to work soon so I need to buy a breast pump to take with me to work. I won't always have access to power so should I just buy a manual pump or get an electric one that can run on batteries? Also which brands/pumps do you recommend?  TIA
