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?

I had the same issue and started a thread about it if you want to read!

I have a Ameda Purely Yours and love it. Not sure how the Medela works but my pump came with all the parts I needed already.
Ameda is a closed system and I didn't realize that Medelas are not! Meaning milk never touches the tubes in the Ameda!

@highwire: Aha! Very helpful - thank you!

I love my Ameda! 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.

I've used both and preferred the Medela for ease of use and cleaning though the Ameda was just as effective.

I have the same two choices through my insurance and was debating the same. So i'm no help to you, but very interested in the responses!!

I've used both and I can't tell the difference as far as milk expression. I prefer my Freestyle because it doesn't need to be plugged in!
