What Types of Breast Pumps Are There?

Breast pumps are classified into four categories:

1. Breast pumps designed for hospitals:

 These heavy-duty pumps include powerful motors and a higher number of "sucks" every minute. Renting hospital-grade pumps is common because they can cost up to $1,000 to buy.

2. Electric breast pumps: 

It is effective, portable, and the suction and speed are adjustable. Some models come with battery packs, allowing you to pump without being attached to a power source. Electric pumps often come with a carrying bag and a refrigerator for transporting milk, making them a popular choice among working mothers. Although single electric breast pumps are available, the more popular—and more efficient—option is a double pump.

3. Wearable electric breast pumps  (also known as hands-free pumps): 

Wearable breast pumps are exactly what they sound like: hands-free, entirely portable breast pumps that you can put in your bra. They've been increasingly popular in recent years. It contains pump "cups" that go over each breast, as well as flanges and milk bags.  Wearable pumps allow you to pump in different positions, regardless of where you are.

4. Manual breast pumps

Using your own hand to create suction and pump your milk. Some are simple to use with just one hand, while others require two. These pumps are quiet and small (about the size of a bottle) making them ideal for travel or infrequent pumping.
