It might be the least sexy baby-related product you’ll ever buy, but a good breast pump can be one of the best investments you make. For moms who need to go back to work but want to continue to provide breastmilk, for partners who want in on the feeding action or for those who simply choose to exclusively pump milk instead of breastfeed, a pump is an absolute must. Singles, doubles, manual or electric? Read on for our guide to the five best breast pumps:

<br/><br />
<p>While a manual pump is for occasional use only—because it can’t initiate, build or maintain a mother’s milk supply like an electrical pump—it is good to know all of your options. And a manual pump is one of them, especially for on-the-go moments or times when a plug isn’t an option. The Lansinoh breast pump fits easily into a roomy diaper bag when you need it. </p><br />

- <h1><a href="http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=2690689" target="_blank">Medela Swing</a></h1><br />
$230<br />
<br/><br />
<p>With an entry-level price point for an electric breast pump from Medela, the powerful suction and portability of the Medela Swing will probably surprise you. Ideal for mamas doing occasional pumping — since it’s a single-sided pump — it’s compact and discreet enough to take to the office if needed. And with the option to use batteries instead of the provided AC adaptor, pumping mid-road trip is a breeze... as long as you’re not driving, that is.</p>

Best breast pumps for twins: I am researching for my daughter who is expecting twins this summer. Would love to hear from moms who have or are expecting twins about their views on breast pumps.
