If you breastfeed your baby, you do it because you have the very best in mind for your baby’s health. So if you're a working mother, you certainly won't find the idea of feeding your child formula encouraging when you’re away working. And it doesn't even have to be about working in an office. Even when you are at home, you will absolutely need to go outside once in a while leaving your baby to the care of someone else, won’t you? What will they feed the child –formula? Not if you can help it. You’ll need to have breast milk saved up first. Which brings us to the question – which breast pump is best.

Now the market is practically flooded with breast pumps, and it can be kind of overwhelming to the first-time shopper. Before we get with the question of which breast pump is best, let's get something out of the way – the question of which time is best to buy a breast pump.

New mothers tend to fall into one of two camps when it comes to breast pumps – the manual breast pump camp and the motorized camp. For some reason, no one ever understands how the other side ever tolerates their preference. The Gerber breast pump kit sells for just $50 or so – half as much as you would pay for a motorized model. Is it worth it? Is it just too much trouble and does your hand hurt pumping away all the time? That's what we're here to find out.

First of all, the manual Gerber breast pump won't help you at all if through your pregnancy, you've gotten rather busty – to say, a DD cup size. If you're smaller than that on the other hand, it'll work admirably. Reviews of the manual Gerber breast pump kit are usually superlative ones. And for good reason too. The construction quality is top-notch and you'll find yourself feeling a great deal of confidence in the device just to feel the heft and the build quality.
