I am a first time mom and got my double electric medela pump free through my insurance. Most insurance covers most if not all of it

Mandela is supposed to be 'the best' you will find, but i think in all honesty that it is different for everyone. Some wome swear by one machine and others will hate that same one. Trial and error!  Best of luck,  i hope you find the best one for you

I'm also a second time mom but a first time breast feeding mom (pending birth) and I just bought the Mandela pump in style advanced today. I hope it works well!! Less than 6 weeks to go!

Call Your Insurance Provider... You May Be Able To Get A Free One. Mine Is A Medela Double Electric, And 100% Covered. I Never Would Have Known If Not For Someone Telling Me To Check On it. Good Luck!

when I was in the hospital after giving birth I used an electric madela pump and it really hurt. I told myself to tough it out so i asked the lactation consultant if I was going to be able to get one through WIC to take home but she said that would take about a month. she then gave me the manual madela symphony and it works wonders!! it doesn't hurt and doesn't take long at all to get milk. its so easy to use. I recommend the manual ones
