Manual vs Electric Breast pump

Hi all! FTM here. How do you know which pump is suitable? I’m planning to get the electric breast pump but WHAT IF i can’t produce my own milk for my baby? Will it be a waste of money to get the electric one? My concern right now. If i were to get manual and i can provide breast milk to baby, i will eventually get the electric one too. So what is your best advice out there parents?

It depends. If you’re going to have a confinement nanny and the baby’s going to be taken care of by nanny at night, you should probably get a pump now. Unless you are intending to handle the nights on your own, like I did, I never did pump, I just latched all the way until I had to go back to work. I think try not to think of the what ifs for now and get one. If you are worried about costs, you can get one set that is not by the top brands like spectra/medela. You can get from brands like Youha, imani, or loveamme which are slightly cheaper, but works just as effectively.
