Medela Harmony

Wait! I used a cheap manual Medela pump for 2 years. Bought it when I needed it (a few weeks in) and it was perfect.

I exclusively pump breast milk for my son as he had an awful latch. You can rent the medela symphony which is a hospital grade pump which is really good if you don't mind being tethered to a wall. Otherwise, the Medela Swing Maxi*/Freestyles are both good and more mobile. Personally I have a double Elvie set up and that works pretty well for me. I also have a manual Medela Harmony which is also really good and super portable. I've also heard really good things about the BabyBuddha which is ha

If you only need it occasionally I'd go for a manual one. The Medela Harmony is about £25 and worked perfectly for me.

I used a manual Medela Harmony and it was great. Much cheaper than electric and worked really well for me. For bottles, Tommee Tippee closer to nature worked for all my babies.

I had a manual Medela harmony pump. It was about £25 and did the job perfectly. I only needed to pump occasionally though. Tommee Tippee bottles worked well for us.

Medala Harmony hand pump (usually around £25 but just saw a £18 offer on Amazon). It's very gentle especially for the early days. It's worth asking your NICU, the NHS usually carries Medala pumps (very medical/professional ones) to give you an idea of how it feels, the size of cups you need etc.

I was given an Elvie and honestly I found it really fiddly. I used a manual Medela pump for 2 years with my eldest. It was totally fine. I'd say wait and see what you need.
