Breast Pumps for Twins


If you are planning to use the breast pump to express milk for all of the feeds, like if you are having twins, then the best pump I would recommend is the Medela Pump in Style Travel. The second best would be the Medela Swing. Both of these pumps are suitable for the large amount of expressing that you need to do.

The
Medela Pump in Style and the Medela Swing Breast Pump both have similar suction and power levels. They are both very quiet and comfortable to use. The main difference between these is that the Pump in Style Travel is a double pump so it is a little bit quicker to use as you can express both breasts at the same time. The Swing pump is also very good to use, and it is smaller aswell which some people prefer.

I really don’t want to recommend the Mini Electric Plus double, it is not very powerful and it is very noisy. This is the same as the Mini Electric single, just that you can do both breasts at the same time. But the power rating and suction in this pump is not the greatest, and this particular pump wouldn’t really stand up to the frequent expressing that you are planning to do.


Anyway, let me know what you decide and we can sort out the ordering process for you
