I'm a soon-to-be FTM who is planning on going back to work when my LO is about 9 weeks. I work at the daycare where my child will also be attending, so I'm not sure how much milk I'll need to pump and store, or if I can just drop the fresh milk off in his or her room.
My insurance is giving me four choices of breast pumps.
The Medela Pump in style Advanced starter set,
the Ameda Purely yours Dual electric Personal Double Pump,
the Medela Pump In Style Advanced Breastpump Tote or Backpack,
and the Medela Freestyle Breastpump.
The last two pumps are an additional charge, but I am fine with that if they are offering me more connivence. I am not sure there is any real benefit to getting the Medela with the tote, as it looks like the same model that is offered to me for free. It looks like the Freestyle is the only pump that is battery operated, which is a huge plus as their isn't a great place to pump at work, and finding a place to plug in could be a problem.
Which pump would you choose?
For those of you who have the Freestyle, is it worth the extra money?
