Electric breastpump question?
Hi;
I am thinking of buy this pump. Single Deluxe Battery/Electric Breast Pump By Medela Price: $79.99 Does anyone have thoughts on it? Also, I am still very confused. It seems that an electric pump is a better choice. The problem is that they come real expensive. I want to spend the money on something that really works. I would not feel comfortable renting or using someone else's breastpump (I am just picky that way) .. So, I need advise on the best possible electric pumps up to $200. Thanks in advance Mona due 07-31-04 |

I've heard this is an OK pump, but it uses alot of batteries and is very noisy. For occaisional pumping it is probably fine (and much better than ones made by first years or gerber). Really, if you aren't pumping alot, the avent isis manual is quite nice. Also, I am still very confused. It seems that an electric pump is a better choice.

If you are going to be pumping alot, look into the Ameda Purely Yours- it used to be right around $200. The Medela pump in style is a very good pump too, but runs around $250. I don't know what the Whisper Wear runs for, but I've heard pretty good things about it. Do note that when you rent a pump, you buy all the horns and tubes that you'll use, so there is no way to get contaminated from the pump. Mary |

Thanks in advance Mona due 07-31-04 ----------------- I've got an Evenflo Comfort Select and have had great success with it. Granted, it's the only one I've ever had, so I don't have a basis for comparison, but I was able to get a good 6 oz. on my very first try. I paid all of $40 for it at Target. Good luck with your search. --Deirdre |

Electric breastpump question?
OK. What are you going to be using the pump for anyway?
What I mean is do you plan to work and pump several times daily, or do you plan to pump every couple of weeks to go on a date with DH? If the latter, then the pump you reference is fine. If the former, you need a good *Double* electric. I do have two warnings about the pump you reference. 1. It eats batteries. You will only get a couple of sessions out of a set of batteries. 2. It is quite a bit noiser than the larger pumps. Again, if you are pumping infrequently, neither of these disadvantages is a big deal, but if you are pumping 2 to 3 times a day, they can be a major annoyance.

I would not feel comfortable renting or using someone else's breastpump (I am just picky that way) .. When you rent a pump, you're only renting the electric motor part! Tubes and pump horns and such are plastic parts which you buy separately. There's no worry about contamination. FWIW, my DS was in NICU. A borrowed Medela Lactina was standard issue to all the moms with a baby there while they were in their hospital rooms, and there was a pumping room with four machines set up in it after you were discharged but the baby was still there. You'd bring your own separate pump mechanism and hook it up to the mechanism. Then after discharge I rented the electric part for around $20/ mo from the hospital. -- C, mama to seventeen month old nursling |
