Breast Pump Recommendations

Question

Has any mama’s used either the
Medela pump In Style with MaxFlow™ breast pump.
Motif Twist breast pump
Lansinoh Signature Pro Double Electric breast pump
Ameda Mya Joy breast pump 
Those are the options I got approved for from my insurance. Has anyone used any of these options or recommend one over the other?. Any pros or cons to any of them?. 
Thank you!.

Answer

I have a Lansinoh smartpump from my first that I exclusively pumped with for 7 months, with my second/current baby I got the motif duo, I also recently got a pair of Momcozy s12. Of the 3 my favorite is the Lansinoh hands down, even though it has to be plugged in and you are stuck at the wall it empties me the best. The motif duo would be my least favorite.

Answer

I’m a spectra gal. Most insurances will cover this one. I wasn’t the biggest fan of medela pump the replacement parts are expensive but i guess it depends on how much pumping you’ll be doing.

Answer

I didn't use the one you listed, but i have a different medela one and love how i could buy packs of medela baby bottles with nipples so i could pump directly into the bottle that baby will use. Also keep in mind how portable it is if you will bring it to work on a daily basis and how easy it is to clean. Some pumps have as few as 3 pieces to clean (bottle, flange, middle piece) while ive seen others that have up to 6 pieces. If you're washing them every day it makes a huge difference

Answer

I had a Medela with my daughter and loved it. I found it really easy to use and I got more milk than when I used my Spectra.
With my son I am using a Cimilre S5+ and I love it. Super easy to use, customizable to each breast which for me was important as I have one boob which needs slightly more suction than the other. My IBCLC also said it's an upgrade to the Spectra. Spectras are highly recommended but my body didn't resound well to it.
My friend used the Ameda for both her kids
 and loved it.
At the end of the day it's important to get a hospital grade pump. It's also important to note that there really isn't a bad pump per se but whether or not your body will respond to it. What works for me may not work for you. 
That doesn't mean the pump is bad. Look
 to YouTube for reviews. When you get your
 pump make an appointment with an ibclc to
 make sure your flanges are the correct size
 and have them teach you how to use your
 pump correctly.
