Choose Medela Breast pumps ~ the best breast pumps
There are many options when choosing breast pumps. I choose Medela Breast pumps for the quality and they stand up forever.
You can check review sites and you will find positive reviews for just about any breast pump, but you rarely find a negative review for Medela.
There are a variety of Medela breast pumps available, you should be able to find quite a few, and the one that's right for you, on this lens.
Why I chose medela breast pumps
the best breast pumps in my opinion
I really didn't want to spend this much on a pump, but there were a couple things that swayed me to purchase this:
1. The Medela brand. I researched options over and over again and I kept coming back because of the positive reviews. Other pumps had good reviews, but a lot of bad ones also. This brand seemed to have the most consistent positive reviews.
2. I plan to have more children. I figured better to invest in a good pump that I can use for several kids than a cheaper pump that I would have to keep replacing.
3. I could either buy a cheaper single pump, or go with a more expensive double pump. The trade-off is time. I felt it was worth the time saving. If I was pumping a couple times a day for a year, imagine the time savings to be double-pumping. To me it was worth it.
Thank goodness I bought this, I developed thrush about a week after my baby was born and was unable to breastfeed. However, I was able to express and bottle feed until the infection cleared up. In doing this, between pumping and feeding it was taking up an incredible amount of time each day. But, imagine how much time it would have taken if I only had a single pump!
Get the advanced model--the two stage pumping process is really helpful. I have to go back and forth between the two stages several times in one pumping session. I'm not sure how well I could have pumped with another model without this feature.
A couple negatives...Medela removed several features from the 2008 model that the 2007 model had, I guess so they could lower the price and make it more affordable. This included the manual pump (which is really needed in case you ever go on vacation and don't want to take the full pump or are away from your pump for an extended period of time and need to relieve some pressure), the bottle stands, and the removable motor. If you can still get your hands on a 2007 model, I would suggest you do so because these features are good to have. I get really annoyed with not having the bottle stands, the top of the bottle with the horns is heavier than the bottle, so they tip over constantly unless they are really full of milk. Also, you have to press a button to go between the two phases of pumping, but when you are holding a bottle in each hand, unless you have a third arm and hand it is tricky. Eventually you get used to it, but I wish there were some way to make this easier.
Overall I'm really happy with the purchase!

Medela Breast pumps
the best breat pump
Medela Pump in Style is the CEO of breast pumps. Designed for moms who pump several times a day, especially those returning to work, the pump is packed in a handsome, discreet black shoulder bag. No one but another mother will ever know what lurks beneath the surface%u2026that is, a very good, powerful pump complete with adjustable speed and vacuum control, battery pack, AC adapter, extra bottles with lids, bottle stands, "PersonalFit" breastshields, removable cooler carrier with ice packs, bottle holder, extra storage pockets, and a built-in picture frame (looking at your baby while you pump increases milk flow--strange but true!). Pumping will not be the most pleasant experience of motherhood, but this sophisticated pump makes it convenient and relatively easy--and virtually hands-free (once it's attached)! Warning: be prepared for the question from the uninitiated (non-mothers), "I love your bag--where can I get one just like it?" --Emilie Coulter
