Need some advice.. My friend is going to deliver soon, she wants to bf her lo by fully latching .. However I m wondering if she should get a pump too just for times like she needs to run errands n leave baby with her mom, or she can use the pump to relieve the engorgement etc? Then which pump is better in terms is cost n effectiveness?

the pump will not be a heavy duty one. Consider the Spectra S9+ which is compact and lightweight; doesn't take up much space in the house. It's selling at $139.90 on Qoo10. I got mine from seller Babyjoa. It's an electric double pump with rechargeable built-in battery. Double pumps are generally said to have better yields as they stimulate both breasts together and also saves time. Alternatively you could try this that I thought of on my own: DIY Unimom manual pump. Parts needed: 1. Unimom switch kit $15.20 (Pupsik) 2. Unimom silicon massager $10.32 (Pupsik) 3. Unimom breastshield $10.32 Pump into your own standard bottle and only costs 35.84! I'm using this manual pump on days when I feel lazy to be hooked on to my electric pump. It is able to clear my breasts in a shorter time, I'm happy with the yield and my arms get some exercise.
