When to use a Electric Breast Pump vs Manual Milk Collector
Electric Breast Pump for active milk removal
Use your electric breast pump when:
- You’re replacing a feed (baby isn’t nursing)
- You need to maintain or boost milk supply
- You’re returning to work or will be away from baby
- You want more control over suction strength and rhythm
Ideal for full milk expression and consistent milk output.
Manual Milk Collector for light collection and comfort
Use your milk collector when:
- You’re nursing on one side and want to catch letdown from the other
- You’re feeling a little engorged or leaky
- You want to relieve fullness gently without full pumping
Great for building a small stash over time with no extra effort!
The Dream Team
Use your manual milk collector to collect passive milk while nursing, and your electric breast pump to empty and maintain your supply when baby isn’t feeding.
