Does anyone use the Medela Freestyle pump?
If so, do you recommend it? I am loving the hands free, plug free features and that it's not attached to the bag. It's more  though so just looking for some feedback from anyone that's used it.

Re: Does anyone use the Medela Freestyle pump?
I used it and I loved it! I hadn't tried anything other than the hospital pump but this was the one everyone recommended. It was easy to use, comfortable and portable. The rechargable battery was great too.

Re: Does anyone use the Medela Freestyle pump?
I own the Freestyle and PISA. I keep the PISA at work and my Freestyle at home. I love them both, but the Freestyle has been way more convenient for me. When I go out, it fits in my coach bag quite nicely and nobody knows that I'm carrying it.
I posted a couple months ago on the Pregnancy board that I bought a brand new Freestyle for about $100 cheaper than any store around here (and she doesn't charge tax). The LC who sells it is in Texas and she's an authorized Medela vendor. Her web site is: http://www.addalittlelove.com/ .
I highly recommend buying it from Mindy (the LC) if no one buys it off your registry. She was really helpful answering all my questions on the phone!

Re: Does anyone use the Medela Freestyle pump?
I have it... my boobs are too big to use it hands free plus I was a horrible pumper so I needed to do compressions to get milk out which meant only pumping one side at a time
I also read reviews that it didn't have as strong as a suction as some of the other ones.... So I guess i'm not a fan but it may just be my own boob issues. LOL

Re: Does anyone use the Medela Freestyle pump?
I have it and love it! I haven't tried any other pumps so I have nothing to compare it too. I think it has a very strong suction and I take it to work every day too. It was one of the best things I got from my shower for my own sanity!

Re: Does anyone use the Medela Freestyle pump?
I have it and love it! I got Medela Swing at my baby shower but when I realized that I'd be pumping more I decided to get the freestyle.
My boobs are too big for the handsfree attachments that or I have not figured out how to get them to work. Instead I use to rubberbands to attach to the horns and my bra and it works! I saw the rubberband idea on kellysmom.com
And definitely contact www.AddALittleLove.com for the pump, so much cheaper than BBB or BRU even with their coupons! And Mindy was really helpful

Me too.. I cannever use the hands free feature. I have to pump one boob at a time also to get the maxium strength.. I love the size and the convience but I dont think the suction was enough for me either due to boob size.. I pump for one hour to get almost 5 oz total

My LC told me to use larger breast shields which made a big difference.
