What breast pump do you recommend based on experience?

Question

breast pump do you recommend based on experience?" /> 
All these, plus the Ameda Finesse, are covered by my insurance and I want recommendations. This is my first child and first time pumping so I want something dependable but not too crazy. My husband tells me to go with the Freemie since it is hands-free. Would appreciate comments too!

Answer

Once you get you pump here's something I didn't learn until 3months after baby. You don't need to place the pump strength very high. Higher does not mean more milk. You only need a light stimulation and it takes a minute or two for milk to start flowing.

Answer

Spectra s2!! Got it through my insurance as well! It's incredible! Super simple to operate, easy to figure out... quiet, small, and convenient! I LOVEEEE IT

Answer

Spectra S2 hands down

Answer

The naya it uses water instead of air to pump and the flanges are silicone it's so comfortable ❤

Answer

I own two of the Evenflo pumps. The plus of these pumps is the speed and suction are separate so you can control them and it's more like having the baby latched. This means you can produce two three or four subsequent let Downs. This causes your breast to empty more efficiently. With this pump there is a battery compartment built in that runs on double a batteries so you don't have to be stuck to a wall or in a car. It also comes with different flange sizers this is important as at any point your breasts may need another size. None of the other pumps come with us so when this happens you have to pick and choose hopefully find the right size before the pump rips your breasts to shreds. With this the flange sizers pop on pop off and you can do a little trial and error.

I got the Ameda Finesse. I haven't tried it out yet because I'm also pregnant. I liked that it had every size shield with it, because you can't begin to predict what size you'll actually need. Also, it's quieter than my old Medela Pump in Style which I also still have

I've got a nibble... which sounds weird, but that's what it's called. I don't remember if that's the brand or just the model. It's green and beige. Much quieter than the medela freestyle I got. And more powerful, i didn't have to have it turned up all the way just for it to work. It also has a timer, dual pumps so each side can be doing something different, and different patterns that you can control (unlike the medela freestyle).  It's a hospital grade pump.
I've been tempted by the freemie as I hated having to hold the flanges all the time. Also hated having to be attached to the wall, but there are battery packs that will work with some of them (just check the conversion rates). I've thought about just getting the freemie cups and using them with my pump as there's no reason they shouldn't work together.

Answer

It depends on you honestly and DO NOT START OFF WITH A HAND PUMP

Answer

I have the Ameda Pump and absolutely love it! Worked much better than the Medela one I used at first.

Answer

I had a pump in style with my first and I got a spectra 2 this time, i likes the pump in style but heard so many amazing things about the spectra.  I unfortunately have nothing to say about it yet as my LO is only 2 weeks old and I haven’t started pumping yet but I definitely hope it works as well as i’ve heard
