Things you look for in a breast pump?

Question

FTM. Really want to breastfeed!! 
But what are some of the things you look for in a breast pump? What are some of your absolute favorites and why?! Thanks for the feedback! 💖😊

Answer

I look for convenience I have had three different ones from ameda purely yours, ameda finesse, and the hand/manual one. I liked the ameda purely yours because it has the bottle holders and FOR ME it was easier to place them inside instead of the ameda finesse doesn't have the bottle holders and I'm always spilling my milk especially when we are out. my third one is the hand/manual one which by far has been my favorite because I can take it with me every where and it's not bulky I can just throw it inside my diaper bag and also comes in hand when my baby doesn't want to switch breast to eat I just grab that one and start to pump and don't have to worry about hooking up the machine or when we are out worrying if there is a plug near by to hook up my pump.

Answer

I googled Spectra S2 vs Medela and there are some good articles on the pros and cons of each. I’m getting the Spectra S2. It seems more convenient. One thing I’ll be doing though is getting adaptors for Medela bottles as I heard those are better

Answer

Spectra S2. It’s more customizable with the settings. It has a night light for late pump sessions, quiet, feels closer to baby in my opinion. It’s a closed system, so no milk can get into the machine itself. Easy to clean. 
The only con is that replacement parts have to be purchased online, but target did start carrying them & maybe will bring it in stores soon!

Answer

To be honest, I just took the free one my insurance offered.
