I love my Medela Swing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/single-vs-double-breast-pump#post-271305 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:55:36 +0000 junebugmama 271305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get a single pump that can be battery operated. Its perfect if you go out and need to pump in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/single-vs-double-breast-pump#post-271266 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:53:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 271266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Double pump at work and get an inexpensive single pump for home if you will even need it, really. Are you thinking electric or manual? I'd say either way OK.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/single-vs-double-breast-pump#post-271252 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:23:31 +0000 Downward Dog 271252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get the single. I only use the double pump at work. At home I almost alway just pump on one side. Unless you are planning on going out for long periods of time, I don't think you need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/single-vs-double-breast-pump#post-271188 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 08:49:45 +0000 pastemoo 271188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since you have access to one at work, I'd say you don't even need one---I wish I had bought a cheap hand pump not an electric one (single).<br /> Maybe when I am back at work I'll wish I had a double, but I won't have the money for it anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/single-vs-double-breast-pump#post-271156 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 06:51:19 +0000 littlebug 271156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hive, I need your expert advice! Our son is due in January, and my hope is that breastfeeding will go well and I will be able to breasfeed for his first 9-12 months. I will be home for 12 weeks of maternity, then returning to work full time. I work in a hospital with a huge maternity department, and will have access to a hospital-grade pump (just have to buy my own tubing, etc). I'm considering what pump to get for home use (and the occasional weekend trips to our parents'). Would a single be sufficient, since I will most likely just be pumping at home once or twice a day, or should I just go all-in with the double? </p>
