Good yet affordable portable breast pump
Hi mummies, May I know what portable breast pumps are good for petite woman with smaller breast size? Thinking to get 1 for home only and 1 portable when outside. Currently C cup at 23 weeks and looking to do some light purchasing of some essentials soon Look forward to some advice (:
Honestly, for smaller bust sizes, flange fit matters more than the pump brand itself, a few mums I know had better output once they sized down to a 13mm or 15mm flange, so it's worth checking what sizes come included before you buy. The Pigeon Electric Breast Pump Portable gets brought up quite a bit as a decent mid-range option that doesn't break the bank, and my neighbour actually used it after her second baby and said it was comfortable enough for everyday use without feeling too bulky. That said, some mums love wearable in-bra pumps for on-the-go convenience, though a few flagged that getting the right cup size for a petite frame takes some trial and error. Since you're planning one for home and one portable anyway, it might make sense to invest a little more in a reliable single electric for home and keep the portable more budget-friendly, that way you're not overspending on two premium units at once.
