Breast Pumps

Choosing the ideal breast pump can be a tad overwhelming, we get it. Factors like pumping frequency, portability, speed, suction strength, and, of course, your budget all play a role. Check out our comprehensive breast pump guide to find the pump that suits you and your lifestyle.

The main difference between manual and electric breast pumps is the way they’re powered and the level of control over the suction strength.

1. Manual Breast Pumps: Manual silicone breast pumps are nifty little gadgets which are hand-operated, requiring no external power source. They're small, portable, and budget-friendly. Perfect for mums who occasionally use a pump.
   
   

Electric Breast Pumps: Electric breast pumps are powered by electricity and use a motor to create suction to extract milk from the breast. They are generally more efficient, more powerful, and more comfortable to use than manual breast pumps. Electric breast pumps are ideal for the mumma who uses a pump frequently.

Yes, it is recommended to sterilise the suction flange and tubing of an electric breast pump, as these parts come into contact with breast milk and can potentially hold bacteria. Sterilising these parts helps to ensure that the breast pump is clean and safe for use.

Now, a crucial question: Do you need to sterilise the electric breast pump suction flange and tubing? Absolutely! These parts come into contact with your precious breast milk and can potentially harbour bacteria. Sterilising them ensures your breast pump stays clean and safe for your little one.

Here at New Beginnings, we take pride in our rigorous testing process, which ensures the durability of our breast pumps. We are confident that our manual and electric breast pumps can withstand daily use and will last a long time, so we are committed to providing a 24-month warranty from the date of purchase.

The main difference between our single electric breast pump and a double electric breast pump is the number of breast shields and milk collection containers.

Single Electric Breast Pump: Our single electric breast pump has one breast shield and one milk collection container. It pumps milk from one breast at a time and is suitable for mums who need to express milk occasionally or have a low to moderate milk supply.

Double Electric Breast Pump: Our double electric breast pump has two breast shields and two milk collection containers, allowing mothers to pump milk from both breasts simultaneously. This makes it more efficient and suitable for mothers who need to express milk frequently or have a higher milk supply.

Only replace the parts on your breast pump if they become damaged or discoloured. We offer replacement silicone suction cups, milk valves, flanges and the breast pump body.

So there you have it, folks! Your ultimate guide to breast pumps with a sprinkle of fun and friendliness. We're here for you every step of the way on your breastfeeding adventure. Happy pumping!
