Best breast pumps for efficient expressing, tested by mums

The level of suction and speed, ease of setup and how easy they were to clean were all considered - (Rebecca Moore/The Independent)

As a mother, I know there’s a variety of reasons why you may be looking for the best breast pumps. Perhaps baby can’t feed and you’re exclusively expressing. Maybe you’re combining breast milk with formula feeds, or returning to work. Regardless of your situation, I’ve tested a wide range of breast pumps to help you find the best one for you.

Add the discomfort of sore, swollen or engorged breasts alongside all that worry, and it’s clear that choosing the right breast pump really matters. The best option should be comfortable to use, efficient and suited to your day-to-day routine.
