Best Breast Milk Pump (2025): Wearable, Portable, Easy to Clean

Honorable mention

$550 LB Pump: Elby worked well, but he didn’t do anything cool enough to guarantee such a high price tag. I saw the same results as I did with a cheaper pump, but it didn’t have as many cool features as the Willow 3.0, which cost similarly. However, the refrigerator and freezer-compatible bottles attached to the wearable pump have a good timer function.

Medela Pump in Style in Style $209: This famous pump is extremely powerful and easy to use, but not portable. I’m excited A new version will soon be released Using our favorite wearable collection cups from Medera Freestyle makes it easier to wear (but not portable).

Tommee Tippee made it for me for $148: This pump has a setup similar to the LB, but at a cheaper price range. However, this app was frustrating to navigate, but it has more parts than other pumps.

Lansinoh Wearable Beltl Pump is $200: Lansinoh’s Pump comes with a variety of shield sizes ranging from 21 mm to 30.5 mm. This is great (most pumps only come in two or three sizes). I didn’t see any good results with this, but it’s worth noting that that was one of the last things I tested and that my son had already begun weaning.

How did you test your breast milk pump?

I tested all of these pumps while breastfeeding in the first year of my son’s life. Most of it was later that year after milk supply stabilized.

I used each pump straight for at least 10 days. For these 10 days I decided how comfortable it was, how successful it was (I already knew how much breast milk is pumped in the session), how easy it was to move from the pump to the storage system, and how easy it was to clean and dry. The wearable pumps I have tried with several different bras judge comfort ( Willow BraMade for wearable pumps Kindred Braverly’s sublime crossover branursing bra), the standard pump I tried Basic pumping bra from Momcozy.

Do you need a breast milk pump?

It may be uncertain whether a breast pump is needed. It’s hard to know in advance whether pumps, or breastfeeding, will work for you and your baby. Whether you want to breastfeed primarily, or don’t need a pump often, breast pumps can help you build up your milk supply in those early weeks. My breastfeeding consultant recommended using breast pumps in the first few weeks after seeing how low the supply after giving birth was. I mostly breastfed my son until he went to daycare at nine months old, but I often used pumps to maintain the milk supply, relieve his zeal, and pump bottles for my husband to feed his baby.
