Ameda One-Hand Manual Breast Pump Review

I love this pump for many reasons. It is really easy to use and clean. This manual pump was also very inexpensive when compared to other pumps. I would recommend this pump to any mother that wants to pump once or twice a day and isn’t looking to spend a ton of money.

It was one I got from the hospital , all I can say was that it did its job. The only down-side is that it was a manual hand pump and it made things a little tiring after about 10 min.

This pump worked ok, but it really takes a while to do the job. I can’t imagine using it strictly as your means of pumping. Although if you are looking for something for emergencies when out and about, then it should be just fine for you. If you’re going to be pumping a lot, invest in a double electric pump.

I had a hard time with this pump. I got it free from the hospital since my daughter had to be kept in the NICU and for the first 3 days they didn’t allow breastfeeding because they had to measure everything she ate. I didn’t get the suction I needed to get the milk flowing, it didn’t latch on to my breasts very well, and it made a loud sound. Also, the hand pumping got to be very tiring after a couple minutes. I’m trying the Ameda Purely Yours for our second baby. I just didn’t care for the hand pump.
