I bought it after labour when my lactation consultant measured the nipple size for me so I can get the correct flanges. However, I have one (not so good) pump on standby while waiting for the hospital grade pump to arrive. Personally would suggest not to get it a few weeks after labour as your milk might kick start a few days after labour. By pumping/latching would encourage your breast to produce more milk and prevent engorgement. I am currently using spectra S1+. It may be bulking but it works well for me 😁 just that it’s not suitable for office use unless you don’t have to carry around like you drives or leave it in office then it’s fine.
