The decision behind this pick

Do I need a double electric breast pump for twins?

Yes if you're breastfeeding. Single pumps double the time you spend pumping. Most US insurance covers a double pump.

Why

Twin moms produce more and pump more. A double pump is a baseline. Hospital-grade rentals make sense for the first 2 months while supply is being established.

When to buy

Before birth; check insurance coverage.
