My first child would not latch on, so I think I'm just going to pump all the time and feed my new baby (due in Jan.) breast milk from a bottle. Does anyone have any suggestions on which breast pump would meet my needs. I don't want to spend over $150. so please keep that in mind when replying... THANKS!!

I used a Medulla. It has the capability to attach both breast at the same time (to different bottles) Can I suggest that you try with this little one?` Each baby is different and you may have no trouble at all...My son had tongue tie so couldn't latch on until we had snipped. I found it exhausting feeding him a bottle, then settling and then expressing for the next feed..
Good luck tho

I have never had any good luck with breast pumps. I have tried quit a few different brands from babiesrus and none worked. Hoprfully this baby latches on and you wont need to use one.
But I would try calling La Leche League. I don't know the number. Or ask your doctor. They can be pretty helpful. Most hospitals and doctors highly recommend breast feeding. Good luck

My first child took forever to latch on. My second one was eagerly feeding from me 1/2 after birth.... so dont give up hope yet that this one will be easier than the first. Congrats on the baby!
