What Kind of Breast Pump?

Medela Pump in Style is wonderful! The company is also great if you need replacement parts.

I agree with other post, Medella is the best and used is not bad if you can find one and buy new tubes and accessories!

I agree that the Medela is awesome, but it is also expensive (unless you put it into perspective of how much formula costs). I had the Medela for my first, loaned it out and never got it back so with my 2nd I didn't want to spend as much money. This time I got an Ameda electric double-pump. It worked great as well, just didn't have all the bells and whistles (and may not have been quite as powerful, but it got the job done). It was only about $100 vs the $300 Medela. If I were to do it all over again and I was going to exclusively pump I would go for the Medela, no question, but if I was only going to pump part of the time and nurse part of the time I wouldn't hesitate to do the Ameda again. Whatever you do, I really think you'll be glad if you invest in an electric doubl-breast pump. It stinks to do one side at a time, and who has time when you are working and have kids?

Good luck whatever you decide!!

The medela pump in style is great! If you don't mind a used one (they're used when you rent), you can find one for cheaper on Craigslist.com in the baby/kids section.
