From manual pumps to electric and battery-powered pumps, it can be overwhelming and challenging to select the right type of pump for your pumping journey. That’s why the best way to start is by understanding what options are out there, then narrow down your options by considering your preferences and lifestyle. To find the best breast pump for your needs, we also recommend speaking with a lactation consultant (IBCLC).
No matter what, you want to consider your needs and breastfeeding goals. For example, do you plan to pump at home, at work, or both? Do you prefer hands-free options or is something manual more your style?
Types of Breast Pumps
Understanding the different types of breast pumps and their features is the best way to compare breast pumps and make an informed decision! So, let’s start by going over the different options you might see while shopping for the best breast pumps of 2025:
-
Electric Breast Pump: Featuring a small, motorized pump to create suction and extract breast milk, electric pumps are characterized by the fact that they need to be plugged into a wall outlet. While this doesn't always allow the user to be mobile, electric breast pumps do tend to offer more suction power than other pumps. Electric options are available in two varieties: single electric breast pumps and double electric breast pumps. The difference is that single electric breast pumps only allow expression from one breast, while a double electric pump expresses from both breasts simultaneously.
-
Battery-Powered Breast Pump: Operating on the same principle as electric breast pumps, battery-powered breast pumps are typically rechargeable, more portable, and offer the user more ease of mobility while pumping. As such, they're popular options for mamas who need to pump while at work or anywhere on the go. Some models, like the Willow Go Wearable Double Electric Breast Pump, are hands-free and designed to fit directly into your nursing bra, whereas others might require a specific type of pumping bra to be hands-free. Regardless, hands-free pumps allow you to pump virtually anywhere while retaining the use of your hands and remaining totally mobile.
-
Manual Breast Pump: Traditionally, a manual breast pump is any pump that requires the user to manually squeeze or pull down a lever to create the required suction to extract breast milk. While manual breast pumps, like the Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump, do not generally include as many features as other pumps, they’re simple devices that are intuitive and easy to use!
How Do I Choose a Breast Pump?
From electric breast pumps to manual breast pumps, your pumping sessions should be as comfortable as possible and that’s why we’re here to help! When deciding on which breast pump is best for you, we recommend considering these important key features:
-
Suction Strength - We surveyed Aeroflow Breastpumps moms, and 82.9% said suction strength was very important when choosing a breast pump. Do you need help kick-starting your let-down reflex to stimulate milk flow? Do you want a more efficient milk expression? Do you need a little assistance fully emptying your breasts? If so, a pump with higher suction power may help establish and maintain your milk supply.
-
Type of Pump (Electric, Battery-Powered or Manual) - Ask any mom: The best breast pumps are the ones that make you feel as comfortable as possible while also expressing the most breast milk per session as possible. So, how do you envision your pumping sessions—or if you’re looking for something new, what are your pumping sessions missing right now? For example, if you’re constantly on the move and looking for the best wearable breast pump, a manual breast pump might not be the best solution. Think about your goals and what would make your life easier, and start there. (That said, there’s no rule that says you can’t have more than one breast pump—many mamas have more than one for pumping sessions at home, at work, and on the go!)
-
Portability - If you plan to consistently commute with your pump, consider its weight, size, and whether or not it will require additional supplies. And if being able to pump on the go matters to you, look into wearable breast pumps or battery-powered pumps, which are helpful when you don’t have access to an electrical outlet. Be sure to find out how long battery-powered pumps last on a single charge and whether they come with rechargeable or standard batteries. Also, see if your pump has a DC power adapter, which can be used in a vehicle.
-
Customization - A breast pump with adjustable suction strength and speed settings will allow you to customize your pumping experience. The more suction and cycle levels a breast pump offers, the closer the pump can mimic your baby’s feeding style.
-
Discretion and Hands-Free - Do you want to pump on the down-low? Consider choosing a pump with a quiet motor that fits easily into your purse or pumping bra. Do you want a hands-free breast pump? Pumps like the Elvie Stride 2 or the Lansinoh Wearable Breast Pump might be up your alley (in addition to our highlights below!), and you may want to pick up a pumping bra.
-
Warranty, Replacement, and Extra Parts - All breast pumps will come warranted through the manufacturer. Please note that the warranty may differ for pump motors and parts. Monitor your pump and accessories to know when to order extra parts or replacements.
-
App Tracking - Do you want to track and monitor each ounce you pump? Then, consider breast pumps with advanced features, such as Bluetooth connectivity, to track your pumping schedule via an app on your smartphone. Brands like Elvie and Willow have their own apps for certain pumps. The Elvie Pump, a wearable electric breast pump, and Elvie Stride and Elvie Stride 2, both hospital-strength pumps, connect to the Pump with Elvie breast pump app. This app allows you to control your pump remotely, select different pumping rhythms, and track your pumping sessions. The Willow app works with the Willow Go wearable breast pump and Willow 3.0 to capture essential pumping details from each session. This app also provides access to tutorials and shares personalized pumping tips based on your usage patterns.
