I too use Medela. I like it.
I have the Medela pump in style...you can buy them on ebay and just buy new flanges...I wish I had done that. BUT I use mine every day!
I think I mentioned this in my post, but some hospitals you can rent the electric pumps from them.
Manual one never worked for me, but just like with every pregnancy is different, so is every womans ability to breastfeed. My hospital gave me a manual pump, but it never worked. I ended up borrowing one from a neighbor that was electric and it worked beautifully. I plan on renting an electric one when this baby is born. MEDELA is an excellent brand.
