Hi Bella, thanks so much for information! I didn't pump at all with DS1 but thinking it could make life much easier when this bub arrives, thanks again :)

Depends on how frequently you will express,I use the Ameda Lactaline, it's a double pump with a closed pump system (vs open pump system like Medela) However I did order in the UK so not sure if you can get it here. I've heard the Medela Swing is good, or the Medela Freestyle which is a bit more expensive than the Swing. I use mine daily to keep my milk supply high and because I'm going back to work when my little girl is 4 months and I want to give her only breastmilk as long as possible. For bottles and teats, every baby is different so just get a few and try, my little girl likes the Dr Browns wide neck ones, or the Playtex Nurser drop in ones, as both reduce the amount of air she takes in. Next is Tommy Tippie Closer to Nature and the MAM self sterilising ones. I have friends whose little ones love the Medela Calma ones as they are most like breast feeding, others whose little ones will only use Avent so it really depends. Avent was worst for my little one as she swallowed so much air.
