Sonata anyone?

Question

I've used lansinoh breast pumps & evenflo breast pumps with my other kids. Never could get much milk but constantly leaked (wtf!?) so I did realize I need quite the smaller flange than others which is great with Medela. I hear lots of great things about the pump in style advance... but has anyone used the sonata? Is it worth the additional 100.00?

Answer

All right. Here’s the scoop. 
I’m 5 days PP and have been pumping since day two when my milk came in and LO has had issues latching.
Like I said in previous posts. I have used medela pump in styles and specta s2. Like both. Just prefer medela. 
I now have the sonata. 
Likes: 
beyond quiet. 
Battery operated but there is a catch (see dislikes)
Bluetooth sync with phone app
Very gentle compared to the pump in style
Pumps a good amount of milk in a short time frame. 
Light weight
Lights up so you can pump in the dark 
Dislikes:
Battery power isn’t as good as being plugged in.  Meaning it doesn’t pull as much from the breast unless it’s plugged in but it does remove almost all so if I’m a pinch it will work 
Seems to have a little issue getting initial latch/suction. 
Pumping pieces aren’t crazy easy to clean. 
Overall I’m happy with the pump. Just if you have to buy out of pocket it may not be worth it. Consider the cost vs features.

Answer

I have used the pump in style for almost 3 years with my prior two kids. This pregnancy I ordered the sonata. I currently 38 weeks and get induced next Friday. Just from playing with the sonata here at home it is pretty worth the additional money. 
I enjoyed my pump in style did the job. Had great medela support help when I ran into issues. I did end up ordering a spectra s2 wasn’t as fond of it as I was in the pump in style so kind of knew I wanted to go back medela with this baby.
