For me personally, I liked the manual pumps. Our electric pump just didn't feel right to me. I don't like not having control over something that has a suction on my boob (besides my child, of course) so I much preferred the manual. I'm probably one of the few that do, though. Most breastfeeding women I know prefer electric.

I used the old hand method. I had probs using my manual pump. Maybe cause I have small bbs. Sad

I liked electric better because it had stronger suction

I like electric I could pump alot more with that then I ever did a manual one. Amd it works faster I can get 3-4 oz in 20 min, I tried for an hr with a manual onebefore only to get 2oz

The electric one worked better for me, because it has much greater suction, but I really think it is dependent upon you and how much you are going to be pumping. Have a good day!

lol, mel! I have dreams about some of you sometimes. I had a dream a while back that sam was naming her new baby kenneth because it's the only name she liked. Tanya said she's had dreams about some of us too. It only makes sense, some of us spend way too much time on here!
