Expensive breastpump for FTM

As a FTM, is it necessary to invest in an expensive breastpump like medela and spectra with tubings? Can we just buy the affordable ones and wearable cups ones ? #FTM

It really depends. My hubby bought for me Philips not knowing the suction isn't great. It gave me so much anxiety not being able to produce much for my baby till I found Spectra which cld get me to yield much more. As an undersupply mom, the type of pump really makes q lot of difference. I tried a wearable pump and it also doesn't work for me as my boobs are just too big for those so it couldn't hold on as well as a normal flange. A lot of trial and error but if course there are mommies who had it easier. I have a friend who cld yield as much with any kind of pumps. Even manual ones work for her. You won't know till u start producing milk unfortunately.
