Medela Freestyle Pump

I am researching breast pumps and recently heard about Medela's new hands-free Freestyle pump. The reviews I have found have been very positive, but there are few out there since it is so new. I will be going back to work full time so definitely will need a double electric pump. Besides the Medela Freestyle, I am also considering the Medela Pump in Style Advanced and the Ameda Purely Yours. Does any one have the Medela Freestyle? Any other advice on the other options I am considering? Thanks so much!

Using Medela Pump in Style for Second Baby??

Hi Mamma's- I have a Medela Pump in Style Advanced breast pump. I used it for my son about 2 years ago.

I cant imagine that I payed almost $400 2 years ago for something that could only be used for one child, but maybe I am nieve! If this is true, why do they sell all the new tubes, sheilds ect.? Anyones advice is welcomed!! New baby is not due until April, but im...

What Breast Pump Is the Best?

Hi! I am looking for advice on what breast pump works the best. I am pregnant with my 2nd child and want a good quality pump. I had the manual Advent Isis hand pump and HATED it so much. I could barely get anything out and by the end I would be in tears. I have heard the Medela Pump in Style are the best. I am just trying to find out if the original is good or worth the money to go to the advanced. Even though I will only be using it every once and a while, I told my husband it would be worth the investment even if I only use it a couple of...

What Medela Spare Parts to Buy?

I am moving overseas and want to buy spare parts for my Medela InStyle pump just in case I need them and they aren't available for sale in my new country. Any advice on "commonly replaced" parts? For example, I can see if the shields don't need replacing that often, but maybe the membranes do. Thx

Medela Bottles Your Experience.

Hi Ladies! I am buying a Medela breast pump and want to buy the bottles to match. The Medela bottles are pretty much the most expensive ones I will ever buy, but they seem kinda flimsy. Do you have experience with them? The plastic seems pretty thin. I wonder how they hold up in the dishwasher and over time. Any experience is greatly appreciated.
