Breast Pump - please recommend yours!
I am lost looking at breast pumps - manual vs. electric vs. single vs. double vs. Medela vs. Avent....and on and on.
Could you recommend yours or tell me what you've been advised to get.
Thanks!

Re: Breast Pump - please recommend yours!
This was recommended to me by a friend who works full time and has to pump at the office every day. She BF for a year and swears by this pump. I'm going with the backpack version - it has more room and looks easier to carry.

I have the electric medela double pump (backpack one) and it's great. I don't use it that often yet b/c I mostly BF but the few times I have used it it's quick and easy.

Re: Breast Pump - please recommend yours!
It really depends on how often you plan on pumping. If you're going back to work and plan to pump there, I highly recommend the Medela Pump in Style Advanced. I would not recommend a manual pump if you plan to pump on a regular basis. It takes twice as long, is not as efficient at getting the milk, and tends to hurt your hands after a while.

I got the Avent Isis Duo (I think that's what its called - it's still in the closet) 
 is due in 5 days so I'll update when/if I use it. I liked this one because of the whole system - easy to pump directly into bottles, store, etc. also, you can sterilize the pump in the avent bottle sterilizer.
ETA: this pump can be used as an electric pump OR manual

I registered for the Medela® Freestyle™ Hands-Free Breast Pump, BPA Free since I plan on breast feeding during maternity leave and I will pump at work and breast feed at night. (I hope it works out that way anyway)

I have this one and have started using it this week. I pump twice a day, and nurse most feedings for now. My DH does a night feeding when he gets home from work now that I'm pumping and it's his time with our little one.
I really like it. It's really easy to use and very lightweight. I chose this one because I am a pharmaceutical rep and will have to pump in my car when I go back to work, so I wanted something very easy to travel with and battery operated.
I got a 20% off buy buy baby coupon and they let me use it on this. But is has to be a buy buy baby coupon not a bed bath and beyond.
