Picking a breast pump

[mamahue]

I'm looking for opinions on pumps abouts I have 6 pumps available to choose from through insurance: Medela pump in style advanced breast pump, ameda purely yours electric pump,tomy quiet expressions, spectra 9 advanced breast pump with rechargeable battery, spectra 2 hospital strength breast pump, and freemie freedom deluxe set with hands free and concealable collection cups...the only one ive ever heard of is the Medela one. Has anyone one had experience with any of these? Recommendations? I tried to look up reviews but haven't been convinced one is better than the other. Any input would be wonderful!

Thanks ladies, I'm hoping to breastfeed for as long as I can but want daddy to be included in feedings too and of course I'm looking ahead already to going back to work after maternity leave. I think I'm going to give the medela one a try. It's the only brand that ive even heard of so it must be good..right ? ;)

When i went to a breast feeding class the nurses recommended the medela breast pump.  Im a ftm and never used one but thats the one that they recommended

I bought the Medela pump in style advanced.  Loved it.  It took the abuse of lugging it in the car, to work, traveling.  Was close to the same suction as the one in the hospital room after birth.  Used it very heavily and burned out the motor because it was used six or more times a day.  Something to think about when purchasing.  My kids stopped latching when maternity leave was over.

Hope this helps out. :-)

I got a Medela double electric with my first son & it worked really well.
