What is the difference between single and double breast pumps?
The answer is in the question. A single pump will only do one breast at a time. A double will do both at once. Where can I buy a breast pump and how much do they cost? You can find pumps at stores like Wal Mart and Sears. Prices range anywhere from $15 to $200. The electric Medela pumps (which I highly recommend) are one of the more expensive ones. If this is something you will only be using for a short time, and you don’t want to pay a high price for it, contact your local La Leche League leader and find out where you can rent one. If you plan on using it for a considerable amount of time, it is cheaper to just buy it.
