Looking for the best breast pumps in Singapore? Here’s a handy guide for breastfeeding mamas!
Buying a breast pump is a big decision when you’re planning your breastfeeding journey – it can aid in increasing your milk supply, will be a big help if you’re returning to work after maternity leave, and can be a lifesaver for exclusively pumping mamas! With so many options available, it can get overwhelming to choose the right breast pump. Here, we break down the most popular breast pumps in Singapore, including hands-free pumps and wearable pumps.
Things to consider when choosing a breast pump that’s best for you:
Is your breast pump heavy?
Do you need a breast pump that’s easy to take on a commute, or does weight not matter if you’ll only be pumping at home?
Is your breast pump loud?
Some breast pumps are quieter than others, so it’s worth reading the reviews to see what other mamas have to say about its sound.
Can you pump hands-free?
Most older breast pump models will require a hands-free pumping bra, but there are also some nifty new breast pumps that are so discreet that you can pump under your shirt while out in public!
How much does it cost?
Are you willing to spend more on a convenient, ticks-all-boxes model, or can you compromise on some of the functions for affordability?
We’ve listed out the best breast pumps nursing mamas can find in Singapore, plus tried-and-tested Sassy Mama faves!

Guide to Best Breast Pumps in Singapore:
Cimilre S7 Dual Pro Breast Pump
The new Cimilre S7 Dual Pro comes in a new compact design weighing just 471g. That’s a perfect lightweight choice for mamas who need to head to the office daily. The brand hails from Korea and has been around for some 20 years. It was founded by Uzin Medicare, who is also the brains behind the popular breast pump brand Spectra. But don’t let its small size fool you, because this hospital-grade breast pump comes with a dual motor technology that gives you full control of the suction for each breast independently, which is great for double-pumping. You can also adjust cycle speeds, and not to mention, this breast pump is incredibly quiet, too! So you can pump with your little bubs beside you without worrying about waking them up. The battery life lasts for up to 2.5 hours, and you can easily charge it with a power bank.
Breast pump price: from $299.
Available on the Cimilre website

All you need to do is place the pump in your nursing bra, turn it on and press play on the pump or in the free Elvie app to start pumping. The breast pump will automatically switch from Stimulation to Expression mode and will stop pumping when the bottle is full. You can choose the best fit for you with two breast shield size options and seven intensity settings for greater comfort and choice.

Manual Breast Pump Vs. Electric
Manual breast pumps are often inexpensive and great for collecting letdown on one side while latching your baby on the other. Or simply collect milk when you feel the letdown coming! They’re also useful for relieving engorgement in a pinch. These are huge lifesavers in the early newborn days and can help to slowly build a breastmilk stash in your freezer for emergencies.
