Recommendations
The purchase of a cheap breast pump is a risk. If you are committed to breast feeding your baby or expressing breast milk for your baby you should stay away from these pumps. Better to buy your baby’s clothes and other gear at garage sales and consignment sales and put your dollars towards a well-reviewed breast pump. Also, if making a choice between breast pumping and using formula, look carefully at the cost of formula. Consider also the immunity your baby receives from your breast milk as well as at least one hundred other benefits. There is a cost to losing work or sleep due to a sick baby on formula. It may well be that buying a cheap breast pump is false economy.
