Breastpump

For those who currently nurse or are planning on nursing it's a good idea to have a breast pump in mind or on hand. While in the hospital I was introduced to a very industrial old school version of a pump I knew I wouldn't be able to have in my own home. However, some hospitals will let you rent their pumps, which is good when using a pump for the first time.

I reached out to my girlfriends who already had children and got some really great feedback on Medela pumps.
Currently I have a Medela Swing pump, which I love. It is a single pump so it can be time consuming. It is a more modern version from the hospital pump and sounds a lot less industrial...:) It is also easy to carry on the go and very compact (easily fits in my diaper bag if need be). Here are the specs for this pump:
