So, you are going to tackle the monster that is breastfeeding. Props to you girl! Breast milk is so beneficial to your baby because it is tailored to their exact needs containing the perfect amounts of fat, protein and vitamins along with antibodies to fight of viruses. All made easier to digest than most formula brands. For new moms, breastfeeding can be beneficial because it helps to burn extra calories and bring your uterus back down to it’s pre-pregnancy size. No mama shaming here though, we all do our best and breastfeeding just is not for everyone, in fact 15% of all moms don’t have the ability to breastfeed and the only option is formula. If it is for you though, chances are you are going to need a breast pump to make this thing really work. Let’s check out the best electric breast pumps for 2019

Best Electric Breast Pumps for 2019 – Top 9 Choices

 

Why Choose Electric Breast Pumps

Basically, my answer is why not? While they may be just a little bit pricier of an option than manual, please consider that the first few months you will be in zombie mode like 60% of the time. Okay, that’s being generous maybe more like 80% of the time. Why sit there having to manually squeeze the lever when you could just adjust the speed and suction then kick back and let the pump do its thing? There are even double electric breast pumps that allow you to efficiently dump both sides at once, which is super convenient for working moms. Having a pump is convenient because you can store and freeze milk to have on hand at any time, especially for when you go on outings. You don’t want just any breast pump either, you are going to want to find the perfect match for your tatas to make this whole thing as easy breezy as possible. Let’s check out the best electric breast pumps for 2019

What You Should Keep in Mind

• The first thing to consider when purchasing a pump is how much you will be using it and what your purpose of having one really is.
• Take a look at the warranty that comes with your pump. There is always the chance of malfunction and you aren’t going to want to purchase a completely new one out of pocket if something goes wrong.
• You are going to want your pump to be adjustable because ladies we are not all the same. Some boobies are way more sensitive to suction than others, heck their sensitivity may even change day to day.
• Assembly of the pump will matter a lot when it comes to taking apart and cleaning it.
• If you are going to be transporting the pump, how do you plan on doing so? Look into the lightest weight pump and maybe even one that comes with its own bag.

The Best Electric Breast Pumps

• Spectra Baby USA S2

  
  At just around $120, this pump works almost as amazing as some of the hospital grade options. It’s pretty petite making it easy to carry around with you and quiet, so you can feel comfortable pumping anywhere. Both speed and suction are adjustable. It also has some little perks like a nightlight for those late night pump sessions and a timer. There’s even a letdown mode perfect for signaling your milk to come in. Its one tiny downfall is that it needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet, but it isn’t too hard to find somewhere to plug into these days. **BONUS**  No need to clean the narrow tubing because Spectra S2 has a closed pumping system that keeps tubing dry by preventing air flow between expressed milk and pump tubing while pumping. 

• Freemie Freedom Breast Pump
  

  This little double breast pump can be used hands free, which is pretty exciting. The collection cups are meant to be able to fit inside your bra, so you can pump with your clothes on.

• Naya Smart
  

  Dare to be different, the Naya Smart uses flowing water rather than air to pump. It’s supposed to be quiet, gentle, and strong. It’s also super hygienic with a closed system.

• Hoaqin Micro Cube
  

  This pump if made with food safety in mind completely out of food grade silicone, keeping any harmful plastic chemicals as far away from your little one as possible. It has a let down setting that is very soothing and helps with milk production and then three other modes for after that. It’s compatible with the popular Philip Avent bottles as well.

   

Best Electric Breast Pumps – Double Pumps

• Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with On the Go Tote

  
  Medela is basically the Nike of the breast pump world. This is a favorite of many moms and it’s got all the bells and whistles that go along with it. Medela is not only really efficient in pumping, but also doing so comfortably. It connects to an app which allows you to track all sorts of different things like session time and daily milk output. On top of all this it’s small, light, and has an easily rechargeable battery.

• Evenflo Deluxe Advanced Double

  
  I say double electric breast pumps are the way to go, and this is one great option for that at a pretty reasonable price. This one even comes with two educational programs, and new breastfeeding moms can use all the help they can get.

• Ameda Purely Yours
  

  
  Two thumbs up for this double pump option. All the pieces come in one compact bag making it easy to tote with you, especially for working moms. With the adjusting of speed and suction, you can go from a single pump to a double pump really simply. The Ameda is a very hygenic option with dishwasher safe parts and airlock protection to keep any milk from flowing back up the tubes. It is not the strongest of breast pumps, but it really does get the job done even if it takes a few extra minutes.

   

• Lansinoh Smart Pump Double

  
  Gals, want to know something super cool? This breast pump connects through Bluetooth to your phone and tracks your milk volume and your session date and time. It also has tons of pumping and suction options, is lightweight, and quiet.

   

• BelleMa Double Electric

  

  One last amazing double electric pump makes it on our list. The biggest perk of this pump is its extra long power cord meaning you can plug it in and hopefully still be able to move to sit wherever you feel most comfortable. Its suction can be adjusted separately on the left and right side, just in case. Another great thing about this pump is it only weighs 14 ounces!

Renting a Breast Pump

You can check out a local lactation specialist or ask the hospital about breast pump rentals. There are also some rentals available online through companies like Mendela. It might cost you around $50 a month, but you will be getting a super efficient hospital grade pump. You will buy your own kit of parts that connect your breasts to the pump, making this a completely sanitary way to get an amazing breast pump for low cost. Rental is a really great option if you aren’t so sure how you feel about pumping yet or how long you will be doing it.

No matter what your choice, make sure you find the pump that is right for you. Look up the companies refund policy as you don’t want to be stuck with a machine you will never use.
