How many types of breast pumps are there?

Hospital-grade electric breast pump: This type of breast pump is powerful and most efficient. Many mothers use this kind of breast pump when their newborns are hospitalized and mother and baby are separated. Moms can rent it to use at home.

Personal bilateral electric breast pump: This type of breast pump is smaller than hospital grade, more efficient, and easier to carry. Very suitable for working mothers. Double-breast pumps produce an average of 18% more milk than single-breast pumps.

Single breast pump: Can be manual, battery-powered or electric. This type of breast pump is less efficient and is suitable for mothers who need to pump milk occasionally.

The choice of breast pump depends on the reason for needing a breast pump and the frequency of use.

Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different battery breast pumps

1. Battery breast pump

Advantages of a battery breast pump
It is a relatively cheap type of breast pump. It is easy to carry, can be used anywhere, and is not limited by power supply.

Disadvantages of battery breast pumps
Battery breast pumps need to be charged in time. Most of them are single-sided breast pumps, which can only pump breasts from both sides one after another. As the battery power is consumed, it takes longer to restore the negative pressure. The number of breast pumps is relatively small, and the diameter of the bell cup is single. 

Application scenarios

Battery breast pumps are suitable for occasional pumping, storing some milk for emergencies, and for use when going out for a short period of time. Careful consideration should be given to the user’s nipple condition before purchasing. Battery breast pumps also have established mothers’ concerns about the milk supply mode. Suitable.

2. Battery-pluggable breast pump

Most breast pumps currently on the market can store batteries or come with rechargeable batteries, and can also be plugged in for use. Some can also be divided into medical-grade (rental-grade) electric breast pumps and consumer-grade electric breast pumps.

Advantage
Most can be used on both breasts at the same time. Users will not get tired. Pumping time is shorter. Most negative pressures are adjustable. Some have automatic cycles close to the physiological sucking mode.

Shortcoming
The price difference requires a power supply.

Application scenarios
Hospitalized premature infants or sick mothers;
A mother who carries breast milk at work.

Among them, medical-grade (rental-grade) electric breast pumps are expensive (tens of thousands of yuan) and are mostly used for rent rather than for sale. This type of breast pump has a variety of cycle speeds to match most babies’ sucking cycles. There are a range of varying suction strengths for users to choose from. The system of medical-grade breast pumps is closed, and the working components do not come into contact with milk. Breast pumps need to be disinfected and cleaned before each rental to prevent cross-infection. And renters need to purchase a new breast pump kit (including hose, bell housing, valve, etc.).

Breast pump battery type

Breast pumps typically come in two main types based on their power source: electric breast pumps and battery-powered breast pumps. In the case of battery-powered breast pumps, there are a few different types of batteries used. Here are the common types:

Rechargeable built-in batteries: Some battery-powered breast pumps come with built-in rechargeable batteries. These batteries can be charged using a power adapter or USB cable. They offer the advantage of being reusable, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements. Rechargeable batteries are convenient and cost-effective in the long run.

Disposable batteries: Certain battery-powered breast pumps use disposable batteries, such as AA or AAA batteries. These batteries are easily replaceable when they run out of power. Disposable batteries are readily available and offer a backup option when a power outlet or charging source is not accessible. However, ongoing costs may be incurred due to battery replacements.

Customized battery packs: Some breast pump models have specific battery packs designed to fit and power the device. These customized battery packs are usually rechargeable and can be charged using a compatible charger. They are designed to provide optimal power output for the breast pump and may offer longer battery life compared to standard disposable batteries.

When choosing a breast pump, it’s essential to consider the type of battery used and its performance. Factors such as battery life, charging options, and will vary depending on the specific model and brand of the breast pump convenience.
