FTM - Breast Pump Help?!? 😳

Question

Hi! I am a FTM and just got the list of breastpumps my insurance will cover. I am lost as to where to even start with which breastpump is best or has the best features. Any help or suggestions on where to start would be so appreciated!! Here is the list of pumps I am approved for:
Medela PNSA Starter Set
Ameda Purely Yours Ultra
Tomy Quiet Expressions
Hygeia Enjoye 
Spectra S2
NUK Expressive
Lansinoh Smartpump
Evenflo Feeding Double Electric
Medela PNSA Metro
Medela Freestyle
Hygeia Enjoye LBI
Spectra S1

I would love to hear your experience with any of these pumps. I am returning to work full time at 12 weeks PP and I need a pump that won't require a lot of time away from my desk. Thank you so much!! 😊

Answer

I would say the spectra pump. Spectra has pretty high ratings all around. Medela is the most popular brand but none of their pumps have a closed system. Which means crap can get back into the motor area.... Its pretty gross. Ive watched stuff go up the tube of my medela pump to the motor area and you cant get it back out.

Answer

Spectra

Answer

Answer

Following, I am also a FTM and still can not decide on my breast pump. 😥

Answer

I just got the spectra s2! I love it ❤

Answer

Merely Freestyle:)

Answer

I have the Medela Symphony and the spectra s2. I prefer and get better results from the s2. It's funny because I purchased it for less then the cost of a 3 month rental of the symphony. If you don't like the Spectra bottles Avent bottles work and I've heard that Mam do too, but I haven't personally confirmed it. The spectra has a light and a timer on it which have been awesome addons for everyday use. I also found the spectra flanges are easier to fully clean then the medela. You can also get bottle adapters to pump to any bottle. I use the kinde twist for storage and I have had any issues. If you have any questions about either I'd be glad to answer them.
