Best quality outside the hospital

My last baby was born severely prematurely. She was unable to breastfeed so I pumped... day and night.... every 1.5-2hours. It was exhausting. At the hospital they used an ameda breast pump and I loved it compared to my little handheld one I had at home, so I went out to purchase this one to save my nipples from being torn off from the cheap one I had and what a difference!!! Great that it comes with different size flanges too for different size nipples. I exclusively pumped for my daughter until she was no longer able to have my milk (lots of complications and GI issues), but it felt good knowing I could produce for her, and it definitely would not have happened for that long without this pump!

this pump is my breast friend!

So a lot of mom's use a pump to supplement nursing session, to give dad a chance to feed babe or for a night off.
I, on the other hand, exclusively pump, since birth, to breastfeed my baby.

Exclusively pump, you say?!!? Yep- you heard me. My baby won't latch and I wanted to give him the best of the best, so off I went on my second pumping journey.

I pump and breastfed my second daughter (mom of 3) so I had a good idea of what this pump was all about.

It's not fancy, and it's not as gentle as some pumps, its pretty noisy, and it doesn't come with a huge price tag but it's the best pump I've ever owned and used.

I've put just under 500 hours on my newest pump in 8 months. It's great and never let's me down. I replace my duck bills and membranes every month to keep things running tip top.

All in all, while its not fancy or quiet, it's a great pump. Parts are cheap for it, it comes with multiple sizes of flanges, it's a work horse and hasn't failed me yet!

Pros:
Easy to use
Parts are cheap
Price point for a double electric pump is far below comparables
Multiple flange sizes to choose from
Collection bottles are great to use and easy to wash
Cooler bag is great
Car adapter makes pumping on the go easy

Cons:
Noisy
Not as gentle as other pumps

This pump is very effective. I pumped quite a bit using this pump and was able to get a couple oz each time. The suction is good and it is also the only pump on the market where the tubing is closed off from the machine so there isn't a risk of contamination if you were to buy this used. I am keeping mine for any subsequent babies!

love this machine! i bought mine before i had my second child, this is very effective at emptying me out and it doesnt take long at all. the closed system flanges and different flange sizes make life a lot easier as well!
