Breastpumps....
For a manual I recommend the Ameda Egnell. For the electric I love my Medela Pump-In-Style. I pump 3 times a day at work. If you can get yourself organized earlier, then I'd
really recommend that you use it regularly after feedings before you return to work...at least 3 weeks in advance. Freeze whatever you don't use. (jem0622)
If you are going back to work, buy the Medela Pump In Style. Buy it from
I have an Avent manual pump and like it alot, but I don't pump very often at all. (mj68) I tried many breastpumps but my favourite and the fastest was my very own hand. It's cheap, and, for me, a lot faster than any
pump I've tried. The technique is tricky but I found photographic instructions in a book I got from the library (sorry, I don't remember which!). I always try to have one ot 2 extra bottles of milk in the freezer for emergencies (_karen)
I had two, one was a manual Medela and the other was a power EvenFlo. I seemed to have better luck with the Medela, but the EvenFlo did do the job. (ruth_73) I really like the Medela Pump In Style. My
friend (who works at Baby's R Us) has good luck with the Avent Isis hand pump. (startoestudio) Buy the best. Medela. There is a reason for the cost! (petreece) I had no luck with the manual
pumps. Tried both the rented hospital-grade pump and the Pump-In-Style and they both worked great. (bailey3) I had a baby who would not nurse because she was in the NICU after birth. I ended up exclusively pumping breast milk for
her. I would recommend a Medela Pump In Style (PIS) which I eventually bought after I rented the Medela Lactina for 2 months. Both are excellent pumps and I have also heard very positive things about the Ameda Purely Yours. If you plan on
pumping long term, spend the money, it is worth it. (esorrells)
