Introducing portable and wearable breast pumps, the latest trend in breastfeeding products that are rapidly gaining popularity among nursing mums. These innovative devices provide unmatched simplicity and comfort and are typically designed to be compact and lightweight, making storage and transportation hassle-free.

Selecting the right breast pump is crucial, especially for working mums and mums on the go, who require a portable solution that doesn’t rely on being plugged into an electrical outlet. To help you find a breast pump that fulfils your specific needs and offers the flexibility of portability NewbornBaby has put together this guide of Best Portable Breast Pumps for 2023.

Factors to consider when choosing your portable breast pump:

Portability: Look for pumps that are compact, lightweight, and designed for easy transportation. Consider the size and weight of the pump to ensure it can fit into your bag or purse comfortably.

Power source: Check if the pump operates on battery power or has a rechargeable battery. This feature allows you to pump even when you don’t have access to an electrical outlet, providing flexibility and convenience.

Suction strength and adjustability: Ensure that the pump offers sufficient suction strength and allows you to adjust the settings according to your comfort and needs. Different mums may have different preferences, so having customisable suction levels can enhance your pumping experience.

Ease of use: Look for pumps with intuitive controls and a user-friendly interface. Features such as hands-free operation, easy assembly, and cleaning can make pumping sessions more efficient and convenient.

Compatibility with accessories: Check if the pump is compatible with a variety of breast shield sizes and bottles. This ensures a proper fit and allows you to use your preferred accessories.
