It had lots of different options, the letdown phase was way more effective, and I got significantly more milk using it.</p> <p>I haven't tried the 9S but I think that is the portable one, yea? I'd probably go with that out of your list.</p> <p>I've also heard from several people that the Freemie pump has an inadequate motor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-breast-pump-1#post-2694942 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 18:06:11 +0000 littlejoy 2694942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: I bought a pump bra last time, and the nipple holes were so close together - it gave me a complex about my boobs ... like, "Should they actually be closer together?!" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-breast-pump-1#post-2694935 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 18:01:18 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2694935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: If you have the option for a freestyle, I recommend it over the pump in style. I had to pay a little extra, but it was worth it for me not to have to plug in every time. I really like the flexibility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-breast-pump-1#post-2694909 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 17:32:51 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2694909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning to get the medela freestyle this time, so I can strap on my pumping bra and do chores while I pump. Or play with my toddler, cook dinner, etc. Life with 2 kids is going to be crazy, and I don't want to waste quiet time to tethered to a wall pumping. I think it's an upcharge on insurance, but worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-breast-pump-1#post-2694900 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 17:25:27 +0000 littlejoy 2694900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: I hadn't heard of this pump before their email ... I'll look into it for sure. Thank you!! </p> <p>@Pumpkin Pie: That would be so nice to not have to find a plug if I am out of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-breast-pump-1#post-2694875 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 17:02:06 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2694875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the pump in style last time but got the freestyle this time. I like the freestyle much more. It has a rechargeable battery so it's portable and you can pump anywhere, and it's smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-breast-pump-1#post-2694873 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 17:01:31 +0000 Pollywog 2694873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Spectra. It is quiet, easy to clean, and effective. I've been pumping for over a year with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-breast-pump-1#post-2694860 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 16:44:49 +0000 littlejoy 2694860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so overwhelmed with the options I was given (so many vendors, so many pumps) for my free pump this time around.</p> <p>Any advice would be helpful ... not sure if it matters, but I have small boobs, will mostly be pumping at home, and struggled with low supply last time. </p> <p>Here are the options:<br /> Medela Pump in Style<br /> Ameda Purely Yours<br /> Natures Bond<br /> Freemie Freedom Deluxe<br /> Spectra 9S<br /> Tomy Quiet Expressions Plus</p> <p>The other vendors just say "Medela and Ameda only", with no specific pump listed - is there a specific one I should see if they carry? I had the Pump in Style last time, and it seemed to be ok. </p>
