Breastfeeding & Pumps

How to choose breastfeeding & pumps in Australia

When choosing a breast pump, think about how often you'll use it and where. If you're exclusively pumping or back at work full-time, a double electric pump will save you heaps of time. Wearable pumps offer brilliant freedom but typically cost more and have smaller motors. For occasional use or building a freezer stash, a manual pump or silicone collector like a Haakaa can be all you need at a fraction of the price. Check that any electric pump you buy meets Australian safety standards (look for AS/NZS certification) and comes with a local warranty, as you'll want support if something goes wrong. Hospital-grade rental options are available through the Australian Breastfeeding Association if you need something more powerful short-term. Consider flange sizing too, as the wrong fit can make pumping uncomfortable and less effective, and many brands now offer multiple sizing options.
