Hand Expressed Breast Milk [PIC]

edited November 2013 in Breastfeeding
I just hand expressed this much milk out of both breast in less than an hour. This is more than I get with my Medela PISA double electric pump. I'm definitely getting a hand pump. I'm think either Avent or Eveflo.

  • I used a hand pump with my first child. This time around I was thinking of getting a electric pump, now I'm not so sure.

    @mrsSilvers: I'm not downing electric pumps at all. Just mines isn't working for me anymore. I have the Medela PISA (Pump In Style Advance) the one that comes as a tote. I used to get a lot from this pump but now I'm hardly producing anything at first I thought it was my supply then a bought a hand pump Medela Harmony, I wasn't getting a lot either. I know my supply isn't what it used to be but its not gone. I had bought new flanges/breast shields and everything and nothing. I think my supply may have regulated itself already or I just don't respond well to those pumps. I know Medela pumps are "like" #1, but I know plenty of people who use other brands are are happy and produce a lot.

    I guess I'll be looking into another pump. I'm ready to stop supplementing and give my baby only breast milk.
  • I have a hand pump and when I was using it, it worked great!!! I've never tried an electric pump but i got a good amount with my hand pump
