Medela breastpumps? - Big Big Forums

Anyone have opinions on the pump in style original vs. the pump in style advanced?

Which one are you using JKAt?

I am looking and I will be buying one for sure. The manual one the hospital gave me is lousy, not worth my time.

Also does anyone know is the babies r us B&M prices are the same as website prices?

Told hubby if my weight loss is from BF alone then I am going to pump till the day I die!!! LMAO I have not been this small in over 8 years!!! Probably will blimp back up when I quit breastfeeding!

I did it many moons ago and the one you are looking at seems to be nice, I prefered the electric ones over the manual they were so much easier even though I felt like a cow hooked up to a milking machine LMAO sorry TMI I know and yes you burn a lot breast feeding. I think the worst thing i hated was shopping and a baby would cry and OMG the dams would let loose!!

when I pumped for my son and daughter I couldn't find a single pump that actually did the job. I never tried the one with the pump in a bag, I guess that is the pump and go but I paid hundreds of $$ for pumps and was very upset by all of them, and sadly enough I never lost a pound breastfeeding. Good Luck!

I have the Pump-in-Style Shoulder Bag (not the advanced) and I love it. GREAT pump! The great thing is that you can recoup some of your $ when you're done. I sold my first one that I used with ***** (the regular backpack one) on ebay for $100.

I had (have) a Bailey Medical Nurture 3. It was excellent!!

I had the same one as JKatherine. I nursed 4 kids and could never get more than an ounce out until I switched to the Medela pump in style with my last child and it worked wonders. Never once did I have to supplement with formula. I always got enough for the next day and it was fast.
