I have been using a borrowed lactaline duo for the last 6months. It has been brilliant - without it I would have stopped within the first 4 weeks (like 70% of my nct group). I ended up just expressing for a week due to infections with cracked nipples and found it is very quick and comfortable. Whatever you manufacture you choose get an electric pump. If your little one is on the way I would get it and read the instuctions before the baby is born - 4am is a common time to start needing to express. Same goes with sterlisers, bottles and formula.... Painful breasts, everyone crying - formula does have a place. Good luck - breastfeeding is a fantastic experience once it works, for some that is on day one, for others it's nearer 12 week.
