Best breast pump overall: Medela Pump In Style Hands-Free Bundle

Medela is Canada’s number one recommended breast pump and for good reason – the brand continues to expand and develop pumps with a mom’s lifestyle in mind. This is one of their new launches and it has everything you could want and need in a pump. This specific option comes with both the hands-free cups as well as the PersonalFit Flex pumping kit, giving you the choice and flexibility on how to pump – the way I see it, you can get two pumping sessions in before having to get everything washed and sterilized before the next round.

Moreover, the pump incorporates a 2-phase expression providing hospital-grade performance and the breast shields are shaped in a way that is clinically proven to increase milk volume by 11.8 per cent. The collection cups are also among the lightest available and can fit in your bra, making the entire process convenient and easy.
