Why You Should Avoid Cheap Electric Breast Pumps

When you are first considering breastfeeding your baby, you may decide to search for cheap electric breast pumps in order to find one that will let you get a break from your baby, but not cost you very much.

Don't make this mistake. I realize that there are so many breast pumps out there that it is easy to get overwhelmed and many women just look at price, but experienced mothers will tell you...all breast pumps are not created equal!

12 OUNCES EQUALS

Therefore, it is important to figure out what is the best breast pump for you and your situation. A good breast pump can have a big impact by helping nursing mothers continue to breastfeed longer than many of them otherwise would.

In fact, some nursing mothers actually consider their breast pumps to be as important as car seats, baby wipes, and diapers! It doesn't matter whether you are going back to work or just need a breast pump occasionally to relieve engorgement, quality does matter.

If your breast pump is cheap, it will not be as efficient as a better pump. In fact, while a good pump may be able to express 10 ounces in 10 minutes, a lesser pump may take 45 minutes to get only six ounces. (What new mother has time for that?)

Many cheap electric breast pumps also are not as effective. Some women cannot get a letdown with a cheap pump so it doesn't work for them at all.

Search reviews. Ask your friends for recommendations. Just don't waste your money on a cheap breast pump. You will be much happier with a good quality pump. It will keep you breastfeeding happily longer...which in the end, saves even more on formula and makes for a happy mommy and a happy baby.
