I use it far more often than my double electric :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1147386 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 08:16:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 1147386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a free hand pump (ameda) from the hospital, that i also kept in the diaper bag. mainly because I had such oversupply that in the earlier months I had to pump for a bit before I could nurse her, because she'd choke during letdown. ugh. but after that I never used it - my hand would cramp. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1147385 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 08:14:54 +0000 singingbee 1147385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I just ordered the medela harmony hand pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1147352 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 07:08:29 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1147352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely keep. I ended up liking my manual way more than my electric.<br /> It was just way easier to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1147339 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 06:46:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 1147339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What hand pump do you all use and like? Sounds like a good thing to have next to the bed for the rate nights C STTN. My medela double electric came with a piston style one but it looks really annoying to use- haven't tried yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1147256 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 23:24:53 +0000 dojo 1147256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd keep it. I have one that I leave in my desk at work and it's been a lifesaver on the occasions when I forgot my electric. Also good for times when I just need to pump a little extra or if I'm going to be away and just want something easier to bring along than a big tote bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1147030 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 19:56:40 +0000 sunny 1147030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The handpump was nice to have in emergency situations! I'd say keep it if it wasn't too pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1146941 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 18:41:59 +0000 pl0508 1146941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep it !

Plus its small and easy to take with you for short days away from the baby. I vote keep it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-pump#post-1146929 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 18:27:44 +0000 singingbee 1146929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I ordered a hand pump to help with engorgment and it was supposed to come in on Monday. I ended up having trouble yesterday and we purchased a medela pump in style. Now my hand pump came in. Should I keep it or do I really need it now that I have the really great pump? It does have a battery option so in case of a power outage I could still use it. </p>
