What Brand of Breast Pump Do You Recommend?
We are expecting #4 and I am looking into recommendations for an electric breast pump (preferably a dual one). I plan to breastfeed and pump as a supplement. In the past I rented one from the hospital for a couple of months but this time I am going to try to breast feed and pump for at least 6 months now that I am a stay at home mom. I have read some online reviews and would like to bet your opinions as well before we make an investment. Thanks!
So What Happened?™
Thank you all for the feedback. I have added the medela pump in style to my registry and gave hubby a big wish list hint for Christmas :-)

I have no experience other than the Medela Pump in Style but I was not impressed with it. It was not as efficient as baby so I was glad I didn't need to use it often.

Another vote for Medela Pump In Style! I used for 2 babies, went back to work after 3 months and pumped for a year!

I am going to be honest with you, I had a medela for my first child and I really liked it, but with my second I ended up buying a single pump Evenflo brand one for $35.00 at walmart and I loved it. They had a double one for something around $45.00. It was perfect for me because I was a SAHM and only needed to pump for a babysitter or if I was a L. too full. If I was going to be pumping ALL THE TIME and was going back to work, then I could've have justified spending the money. I thought the Evenflo worked just as well as the Medela it just didn't come with all the bells and whistles, which I didn't need anyway.

Medela. Use a 20% off coupon (or better if you can find one) at babies r us to offset the cost.

I have to go with the majority and say Medela too! That thing traveled with me to work five days a week and I even used the battery pack when I had to pump in my car one day and it was just as powerful as if it were plugged in. Very good investment!
