Winnie says.

<<I remember someone saying that
at hospital rounds, an LC asked a med student who was touting the
"new research" to carry a manual pump around and keep pumping it.
Every time he stopped, she would say "you won't get any milk that
way".  By the time rounds were over, the student acknowledged that
it would be easier to hold the flanges of an electric pump in place
that to keep squeezing the manual pump handle>>


Yeah, but notice that he COULD "pump" while he was making rounds....he wasn't
sitting in a chair the whole time.

There are advantages to both, and I've had moms that love the one handed
manual pump because they weren't tied to the couch while pumping, and because they
could easily get up and answer the phone, or comfort the toddler, or pull
said toddler off the top of the fridge or whatever.....

And I have oms that love using the double electric....

Whatever works.
