A good breast pump?
posted 19th Jul '07
I have been looking into buying a pump. I was wondering which pump you use, if you like it and about how much it cost. Thanks!

I have a Medela Pump In Style. It was almost 300 dollars but if you are pumping a lot it is completely worth it. It works really well and it comes with just about everything you need.

I use this one http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-12/qid=1184857710/ref=sr_1_12/601-4296094-0592917?ie=UTF8&asin=B00018XCSS Its really good, fast and it doesn't hurt your nipple. I love it. It also has really good reviews that you can read.

How often you will use it?
If you are working then you defiitely want double electric pump. I would then recommend the medela pump in style or the pump in style advance.

You can also find a local store for nursing/breastfeeding mothers that sells them cheaper. The pump in style advance is 319 at BRU, buy I got5 it for 269.
If you are a SAHM and will be using a pump only ocassionaly then the avent isis is great. This is perfect for an evening out or for a bottle so daddy or grandma can feed the baby.

Thanks for the replies! I am a SAHM so I am not sure how often I will use it. I breastfed my last 2 and neither one would take a bottle! I don't want that with this one. I want to introduce a bottle earlier. Maybe do 1 bottle a day at least for a little while. I would love a Medela but not sure I could justify $300

as a sahm a manual pump is the way to go then. You can get them pretty cheap, medela has a good one, but I can't remember what it's called.
How long did you wait to introduce the bottle to the other two? I would recommend about 3-4 weeks. That's when I've done it with both of mine, and had no problems. And it gives your body time to regulate milk production. Good luck!
