I only used it for about 4 months because LO stopped taking a bottle but I had no problems with it. Very easy to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-146322 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:34:15 +0000 twogirls 146322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have the medela pump in style advance for home, swing for work, and the avent isis as a backup in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-146263 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:03:32 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 146263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I@enjollah: I'm at home, so I used it a lot when my milk first came in and I had such crazy oversupply that she couldn't eat, and now whenever I need to miss a feeding. I like it, but it's the only one I've tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-146027 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:24:02 +0000 enjollah 146027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: @Hanasu: @autumnlove: How did you like the ameda purely yours? I have it but haven't opened it yet. Dd you use it only at work? Or at home too? I'm currently at home...not going to work for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145670 Thu, 03 May 2012 09:00:27 +0000 pelikila 145670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela PISA is the one we bought. I agree, if you are pumping with any regularity, a double electric and a hands-free pumping bra are worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145604 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:25:29 +0000 winniebee 145604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela Pump In Style - haven't used it yet though so can't comment on its performance : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145592 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:16:14 +0000 LivsMama 145592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MEdela Pump In Stylae Advanced. To me, a double electric is a necessity. I have a medela manual pump that I keep in my purse for emergencies, but the PISA blows (sucks) it out of the water lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145580 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:02:58 +0000 purrpletulips 145580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Lansinoh Double Electric (not the current Lansinoh model but the older model that is almost identical to the Ameda Purely Yours); it is a double but can function as a single too.</p> <p>If you are planning to pump after you are no longer staying at home, definitely recommend a double-electric. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145579 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:02:47 +0000 yin 145579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hygeia Enjoye! It works just as efficiently, if not better, than the Ameda pump I rented from the hospital. I am an exclusive pumper, and my Hygeia has been through a lot. It's still going strong as I start to wean a whole year later. It was definitely worth the investment for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145575 Thu, 03 May 2012 07:59:20 +0000 plaidpants 145575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Medela Pump In Style for work and Medela Harmony Manual for home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145570 Thu, 03 May 2012 07:52:27 +0000 mamimami 145570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Look into Hygeia, because like a hospital grade pump (and unlike Medela PIS or Freestyle), it stays "clean" inside, so you can buy it used and get new accessories, or you can sell it when you're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145547 Thu, 03 May 2012 07:22:23 +0000 Goldilocks1107 145547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Medela Pump In Style off Craigslist for $75. And was gifted a new accessory pack (which runs around $40). That really helped save a lot of money off the price of a new pump.<br /> Haven't used it yet, so I can't comment on if I like it or not (I'm not super committed to pumping/BFing, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a pump I might only use a few times). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145473 Wed, 02 May 2012 22:55:12 +0000 lemondrop 145473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hygeia Enjoye also- love it! It ran me $319, but it is worth every penny. I can take it to work and pump and not have to worry about finding a plug. </p> <p>Definitely get one where you can pump both sides at once and get a pumping bra. I have a cheapie manual, but I can't imagine using that all the time or only pumping one side at a time, it takes long enough to do both at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145470 Wed, 02 May 2012 22:44:07 +0000 googly-eyes 145470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll have to look into the Hygeia. I had heard of the others but not that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145462 Wed, 02 May 2012 22:18:43 +0000 ohapostrophe 145462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hygeia Enjoye. I think a double electric pump is a must if you're going to be using it with any regularity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145453 Wed, 02 May 2012 22:00:38 +0000 Rosie Girl 145453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela pump in style. I've heard of people who like the manual ones better though because you have more control over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145452 Wed, 02 May 2012 21:59:51 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 145452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela pump in style </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145441 Wed, 02 May 2012 21:42:41 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 145441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Ameda Purely Yours.

I'm reading the reviews on these now... The Ameda Purely Yours seems like a good deal so far but I have more reading to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145382 Wed, 02 May 2012 20:31:49 +0000 mrstilly 145382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a hygeia. I got the Enjoye LBI model, which had an internal rechargeable battery. It was really helpful because I travel for work and needed to pump while on the road without an outlet. I haven't used any other electric pumps so I can't compare, but I think the Medela Freestyle would be my second choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145368 Wed, 02 May 2012 20:18:17 +0000 autumnlove 145368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ameda Purely Yours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145164 Wed, 02 May 2012 17:02:49 +0000 banana 145164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela Pump In Style.

It works great and its less than half the price of Ameda or Medela </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145135 Wed, 02 May 2012 16:19:46 +0000 chopsuey 145135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medela freestyle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145112 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:48:45 +0000 prettylizy 145112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Medela freestyle, it's a double electric that can function as a single as well. It's amazing and I couldn't live without it. LO is breasted primarily but I pump at least twice a day with it, and DH bottle feeds her at least once every day. </p> <p>I would say that if your planning on pumping a lot, invest in a good double electric. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145083 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:13:16 +0000 mamimami 145083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Medela Pump in Style. It's been great but I kind of wish I had a Hygeia.</p> <p>I started out with a manual pump and it was OK for the occasional pumping, but when I got my PIS it blew ol' squeezy out of the water!</p> <p>I consider a double electric an absolute must for anyone who will be away from their baby for any significant amount of time (working part time, full time, travel, etc.)</p> <p>See if your insurance will pay for it. if not, you can deduct it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-pump-did-you-get#post-145071 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:05:40 +0000 googly-eyes 145071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, they're expensive! I knew they would be but I guess that was one thing I didn't really anticipate being as pricey as it is.</p> <p>I'll be at home for about five or six months, probably, but I want to pump. I just feel more comfortable with that. And anyway there will be times where I'll probably HAVE to pump anyway.</p> <p>Are the manual ones terrible? What's the difference in experience between the single and the double? There's a pretty big price difference. </p>
