How do you'll choose your breast pumps?

Can rent hospital grade pump (but less portable) if you want to establish your breast milk supply early on. Then get hand free / plugged in portable small pumps for work use. Brand wise I only tried pigeon and it works well. Do consider the overall comfort & flange suitability as brands differ in their motor power & available flange sizes which you may not be able to interchange with other brands

i tried both hospital grade and hands free, and I prefer the hands free one as I can walk around and don't need to be strapped down. I used Cubble, cheap and decent. If u don't need a lot of frills, can consider this brand I use the same pump for work and home,but purchased an extra set of pump accessories so tt I can wash and rotate them.

I go by budget, cause I didn’t know how the supply would be.

I bought Spectra Dual S and my LC recommends it too
