I prefer my Freestyle because it doesn't need to be plugged in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-ameda-v-medela#post-851111 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:32:02 +0000 Pirouette 851111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same two choices through my insurance and was debating the same.

Mine came with all the parts needed. And any narrow neck bottle can screw into the flanges. I use some medela bottles all the time since they hold 5 ounces instead of 4 like the ameda bottles that came with my pump. I also like that its a closed system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-ameda-v-medela#post-851042 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:04:52 +0000 BlueWolverine 851042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Aha!

Not sure how the Medela works but my pump came with all the parts I needed already.</p> <p>Ameda is a closed system and I didn't realize that Medelas are not! Meaning milk never touches the tubes in the Ameda! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-ameda-v-medela#post-851037 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:03:52 +0000 DillonLion 851037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same issue and started a thread about it if you want to read! </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pump-should-i-get" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pump-should-i-get</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-ameda-v-medela#post-851026 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:00:21 +0000 BlueWolverine 851026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need some advice on which pump to get through my insurance. I have a Medela Pump In Style Advanced and it works fine (I guess - it's the only one I've ever had). I am totally excited about the idea of having two pumps and not having to lug one to work every day. Insurance covers a Medela Advanced Personal Double Pump and an Ameda Purely Yours. Anyone have an Ameda? Do you like it? I'm considering going that route as I currently am barely pumping enough to get LO through the next day and often have to dip into a dwindling freezer stash. I'm wondering if I might get better results with a different pump but I have a ton of parts for Medela. What would you do? </p>
