Breast milk is nature’s perfect food, as it contains immunity-boosting antibodies and enzymes not replicable in formula milk. But as beneficial as breastfeeding is, it comes with a challenge. Busy working schedules, stressful lifestyles, and latching difficulties make breast pumps an essential item for every breastfeeding mum. Breast pumping allows you to control the timing of your feed and also allows you to split caregiving duties. Most importantly, it gives you time and space to recover from sleep deprivation as you can pump and store the breast milk beforehand. But with so many types and brands of breast pumps, how do you know which breast pump in Singapore is suitable for you? In our Best of Baby series, we introduce the Best Breast Pumps Singapore, providing quality recommendations based on your lifestyle and budget needs.

Should you require further help, do check out our ultimate breastfeeding guide for first-time mums. We also provide our recommendations on the best lactation cookies in Singapore to boost your milk supply, and breast milk storage bags to store your excess breast milk. Best of luck with your parenting journey! It’s gonna be tough but really rewarding!

2. Cimilre P1 Portable Double Electric Breast Pump

Compact, quiet yet powerful breast pump for mums on the go

The Cimilre P1 breast pump is highly recommended for mums on the go. With this lightweight and quiet 250g device, you can pump even when your baby is asleep. There is also a 5-level massage mode to choose from and a 10-level expression mode to choose from. Best of all, it has a built-in rechargeable battery that can be powered by a power bank, so you can take it with you wherever you go. Still, you don’t have to worry about frequent battery drain as it can last up to 120 minutes on a full charge.

Aside from its useful and practical features, the design of the Cimilre P1 is not to be overlooked. We love its sleek, minimalist design that gives this pump a contemporary look.

What we love about Cimilre P1:

• Rechargeable; long-lasting battery life (up to 120 minutes)

Cimilre S6+

Exceptionally quiet, portable breast pump

The Cimilre S6 Plus is a rechargeable hospital-grade double electric breast pump that is exceptionally quiet and great for working mothers. Tailored for easy mobility, its lightweight, compact design together with its 4-hour rechargeable battery capacity and ultra-quiet 38-decibel hum promotes discreet pumping even when you are at work. I find this to be an attractive feature, as there are many other pumps that can generate quite a bit of noise, potentially disturbing your little one during her nap time.

Moreover, it is specially designed with Cimilre’s newly developed Free-T breast shields, so that you can enjoy a hands-free pumping experience. Personally, I very much prefer hands-free pumping as it frees me up to read a book during feeding, or post pictures on IG of my baby girl!

Closed system protection with various pumping options

Cimilre’s closed system ensures hygiene as it provides an integrally structured backflow protector to keep the motor and tubing clean.

The Cimilre S6+ is designed to give you an option whether to use it on one breast or both, while it mimics your little one’s natural nursing pattern with a strong yet gentle sucking rhythm at 50mmHg to 330mmHG. This is a huge plus for producing more milk within a short period of time. There are also 5-cycle and 12-level expression options to choose from, allowing you to adjust according to your preferences.

Maximum comfort and convenience

The Cimilre S6+ can be customised in massage and expression mode to provide you full control and maximum comfort. What’s great about this breast pump is that you can even pump directly into their disposable breast milk storage bags, which makes it super convenient if you have a lot of milk supply and prefer storing it in the freezer after pumping.

Please do note that pumping should not be painful. 

If you experience pain, one of the reasons may be that your breast shield size is incorrect. Do measure your nipples’ size accordingly (your left breast nipple may have a different size from your right). It really makes a big difference with the correct breast shield size. Cimilre has 24mm or 28mm shield sizes.

Furthermore, it is equipped with an LED night light, making it suitable for usage at night when your baby is sleeping. The Cimilre S6+ comes with a 2-year warranty. Purchase directly from Cimilre Singapore to ensure authenticity and enjoy stress-free 2-year local warranty support. If the pump requires servicing during the 2 years, Cimilre SG will provide you with a free rental pump so there is no disruption to your schedule!

What we love about Cimilre S6+:

• Portable: rechargeable battery with a 4-hour capacity
• Strong double suction capacity ideal for moms-on-the-go
• Powered with a 38-decibel hum for an ultra-quiet pump

Plus, it claims that its pumps are exclusive to its brand as it features a massage mode to stimulate milk production on top of a 5-cycle frequency of sucking with 12 levels of suction.

Lightweight Spectra alternatives

An alternate choice is the Spectra 9+ Portable Breast pump with 28mm. It is a lighter, more portable design. It weighs 240g and fits in your palm, perfectly designed to be for daily, on-the-go use. Plus, despite its small size, it has loads of functions. The design comes with a closed pump system which ensures no contamination.

On the other hand, we have the Spectra pump S9+, which is very light at less than 300g. The device is great for working mothers who are out of the home or in the office often. However, while it’s convenient and portable, you will miss out on the myriad of combinations and efficiency that the S1+ and the S2+ offer.

For a portable breast pump that allows you to easily pump at work when travelling or outside, check out the Spectra Dual Compact S Breast Pump. It is rechargeable with 2 hours of battery life.

5. Ardo Alyssa

World’s first automatic power pumping programme

Once your baby reaches its grown phase, it will demand its mum’s breasts even more often. To keep up with the ever-increasing demand for milk, mums usually do power-pumping, a method recommended by professionals to increase milk quantity. Thankfully, the Infantree Ardo Alyssa Double Electric Breast Pump provides mums with the world’s first automatic power pumping programme, which increases milk production by imitating the natural breastfeeding pattern called cluster feeding.

The automatic programme is a predefined one-hour interval pumping consisting of 3 pumping phases and 2 pause phases. Though, you may also adjust the pump’s vacuum and cycle settings to fit your personal needs at any time. After you find the ideal settings that yield the most milk, you may save them by pressing the Memory Plus button. This will then be recalled by the pump the next time you use it, making life much easier.

Convenient use via myArdo app

On top of that, this breast pump can be conveniently controlled using the myArdo app. Simply connect your device with the app and you can automatically track your pumping history and duration! Even better, you can switch the pump on and off by just using your smartphone. If you are a first-time mum, you will also find some helpful tips on breast pumping at the myArdo app.

8. Medela Freestyle – Breast Pumps Singapore

Established brand

Medela is a highly established brand sold in over 100 countries and their breast pumps are raved by nursing mothers for their efficiency. The Medela Pump in Style has been voted the best pump for work by Babylist, and Honeykids ranks it at the top of their list. However, we prefer the Medela Freestyle because the Pump in Style has been reviewed to be quite noisy.

The Medela Freestyle is lighter, quieter, and has a hands-free option. It is designed for heavy-duty daily use. The iconic Medela 2-Phase technology consists of a stimulation and expression phase, to closely mimic the way a baby nurses.

What we love about the combination of silent and gentle pumping is that these features make it an ideal breast pump for on-the-go moms who want to pump discreetly and comfortably while at work or in public places.

Vacuum-seal technology and OptiFlow massage

Babies’ tummies are extremely sensitive during the early stages. What makes the Ardo Calypso breast pumps stand out from other breast pumps is its VacuuSeal technology which provides complete protection from contamination and pathogenic agents.

Furthermore, the Ardo Calypso features an OptiFlow massage insert which helps to encourage milk flow. This is especially useful for mums who may have limited milk flow for their little ones. In addition, the vacuum strength and cycle rhythm can also be individually adjusted at any time, up to 64 combination modes.

Also by double pumping, the amount of work that you have to do is cut in half, and you get more rest as well! While this is a dual electric breast pump, it can also be used as a single breast pump, making it extremely easy to transport when you’re on the go. It’s lightweight, portable, and rechargeable too!

You can slip it unobtrusively into your bra because it’s slim and portable. And once in place, you can also control the pumps from the app for a seamless experience.

Hands-free, wearable, and innovative – the Cimilre Free T2 Plus Breast Pump is a dream come true for mums who are always on the go, made in Korea, and well-loved by Korean mummies.

Perhaps tend to your baby, eat some snacks, or do simple house chores – all while breast pumping! Even better, the T2 does not have any cord and tubing, making it easy to assemble and truly convenient for all the mums out there.

For added convenience, this breast pump comes with a mobile app that tracks and records the milk yield for mummies. There will be a pop-up prompt when the pump session has already concluded, so you can directly input the expressed amount on the mobile app for tracking purposes. Also, if you still suffer from the usual postpartum memory loss, you’d be happy to know that the app has an alarm feature that reminds you when it is already time for the next pump session.

Comfortable pumping sessions

Though much more compact than other breast pumps, the Cimilre Free T2 Plus Breast Pump is a little giant that performs the same as giant pumps. Its sleek fit comes with strong yet gentle suction, allowing soft breast pumping for more milk expression. The fit also ensures that your breast will be less irritated and you can pump freely and comfortably. It also allows direct pumping into a milk bottle or milk bag with no spillage of liquid gold!

14. BE Nude Wearable Breast Pump

Best for discrete pumping sessions

Breastfeeding is never shameful, but sometimes, we just prefer to pump our liquid gold in complete privacy. Designed to perfectly fit your bra, the BE Nude Wearable Breast Pump is ideal if you want to have a discrete pumping session. It is essentially like a breast shield – you just need to place it under your bra so your hands are free to do more productive things other than pumping. The flange that comes with the breast pump is soft and gentle to the skin, so even those with sensitive skin can pump safely.

The pump has a built-in rechargeable battery, allowing you to pump anywhere you want. You can even pump right beside your baby, thanks to BE Nude’s low noise level operation!  I honestly think that all working (and breastfeeding!) mums should have this, as you will no longer need to go to a ‘nursing’ room just to get things done. 

Mummy-friendly operation

It was also voted Top 10 in littleonemag, the best portable on MomLovesBest, and one of the best pumps on Wirecutter.

Best Suction Breast Pumps Singapore

23. Haakaa Silicone Pump

Best for travel

This New Zealand brand is known for its non-toxic, eco-friendly products and is a great option for stay-at-home moms that are who need something to relieve engorgement or to catch letdown without the hassle of having to plug it in. The benefit of having this kind of pump is that while nursing your baby on your breast, the other tends to start leaking or expressing as well so instead of having the milk go to waste, you can easily catch it.

Hands-free and effortless

The Haakaa Silicone Pump works by suction. Simply place the shield over the nipple and release the base. It is considered hands-free as it clings onto your breast rather snugly but do be cautious as you do want to avoid the chance of it popping off and spilling the milk. It is made of 100% food-grade silicone and comes in 2 sizes, 160ml and 250ml. This pump is completely different from an electric or manual breast pump. Instead, it uses suction to draw the milk out of your breast. It requires no electricity and no effort from you! I know it sounds like magic. Babylist rate it as the easiest-to-use breast pump in Singapore.

Bundle deal

I highly suggest getting the pump and bottle pack, so you can easily convert it into a bottle after pumping. But if you are just looking for the pump itself, Haakaa Multifunction Generation 3 Silicone Breast Pump Nude.  There is a model that comes with a base Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump 100ml and also comes in 150ml. Plus, it comes with the Haakaa Breast pump cap so you can easily cover it after pumping.

What we love about Haakaa silicone pump:

• Great option for stay-at-home moms
• Hands-free as it clings onto your breast
• 100% food-grade silicone

Types of Breast Pumps in Singapore

There are 3 main types of breast pumps that you can choose from – electric breast pumps (double or single), manual breast pumps, and suction breast pumps.

Electric Breast Pumps 

An electric breast pump is powered by a motor that supplies suction through a plastic tube. You can opt to have a double electric pump that can express milk from both breasts at the same time or a single electric pump that will only pump one breast.

For electric breast pumps in Singapore, you can also choose between hospital-grade and personal use. Hospital-grade pumps are larger, more efficient, and more hygienic (features a closed-loop system). You can consider the Spectra S1+ Double Electric Breast Pump for an affordable hospital-grade pump.

Get it if

• You need to pump out milk regularly (more than once a day) and have limited time to do so each day. Electric pumps are recommended for busy, working mums.
• If you have trouble breastfeeding, get a hospital-grade pump for maximum efficiency

Manual Breast Pumps Singapore

Manual breast pumps require you to squeeze or pull a handle repeatedly to express the milk. They are small, portable, and inexpensive, but they require a lot of effort and can be tiring. Philips Avent Manual Breast Pump is one of the best manual pumps to check out.

Get it if

• You are mostly breastfeeding and do not need to pump very often
• If you are looking for something very portable
• If you are on a very tight budget

Suction Breast Pumps Singapore

The last type of pump is a suction breast pump. It does not require any electricity or battery but works differently from a manual pump. Instead of having a lever or pump you have to use, you squeeze the silicone bottle, attach it to your breast, and create a gentle suction that helps you to express milk. The Haakaa Silicone Pump is a big favourite among moms, especially to help with milk letdown. The Haakaa is perfect for saving milk while breastfeeding. Read a full review here.

FAQ: Best Breast Pumps in Singapore

How do I choose the right breast pump for me?

Your choice depends on your lifestyle, needs, and budget. If you plan to pump frequently, a double electric pump may be best. If you need occasional pumping, a single electric or manual pump may suffice. It is also best to get a second breast pump that you can use while on the go.

Is it safe to use a used breast pump or should I buy a new one?

Breast pumps can be really expensive, so some mums opt to buy secondhand ones. While this can indeed be a budget-conscious choice, certain precautions should be observed to ensure safety. It’s also worth noting that buying a breast pump with a closed system can offer an added layer of safety. Closed systems are engineered to prevent any contact between breast milk and the pump’s internal components, reducing the risk of contamination from the previous user.
