I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-manual-pump-1#post-2203826 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:44:10 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2203826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the Avent manual pump. Loved it. That thing is a workhorse! I also like that it fits right onto Avent bottles so it was less to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-manual-pump-1#post-2203773 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:10:56 +0000 Anagram 2203773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hospital gave me a Medela Harmony when I needed to pump there while LO was being treated for jaundice. It worked fine--I only used it for back up a handful of times ever...and it took me a while to get used to using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-manual-pump-1#post-2203755 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:59:56 +0000 hilsy85 2203755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela harmony was great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-manual-pump-1#post-2203754 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:59:25 +0000 gingerbebe 2203754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked my Avent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-manual-pump-1#post-2203750 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:58:01 +0000 littlebug 2203750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a Medela. It worked pretty well, though the top sometimes popped off if I didn't have it on correctly. I used it in the car or when we were going to be out for the day away from D for several hours. For example, we went to the US Open one day. I brought the manual and pumped 2x in the first aid tent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-manual-pump-1#post-2203739 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:50:29 +0000 avivoca 2203739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an Ameda. It came with my electric pump. It was okay, not something I would use regularly, but it really helped when I was engorged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-manual-pump-1#post-2203709 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:28:19 +0000 Anya 2203709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone use a manual pump you can recommend? If you use it in addition to your electric pump, when do you opt for the manual? </p>
