Question about pumps

~Flossie~~Flossie~ member
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Currently I have the Medela manual pump just to get me through until I get an electric pump. My birthday is coming up this weekend and I told DH that I wanted the Ameda double electric pump for my birthday present. Well, apparently MIL already went out and bought me a single electric Medela pump for my b-day gift (DH spoiled the surprise).

I was really hoping for a double pump as I heard they are preferred over the single ones because they save so much time. I checked the prices at the store she got it from and the single Medela pump is the same price as the Ameda double pump.

Should I exchange it for the double pump or will I like the single pump just as much anyways?

    Exchange it for the double!  I'm not familiar with the brand Ameda but having the double will definetly save you time!

    Get the double!  If you're going to be using it with any frequency (like being back at work), you'll definitely want the double.

    Yes! Definitely get the double pump. It will save you lots of time. I prefer the Medela Pump in Style over the Ameda. I started out with the Ameda double pump and the gears go bad on it quickly. I purchased a Medela and it was well worth the extra $!

    I have never used a double, but I do have the Medela Single Swing pump and I love it. So portable and easy to use. It really does not take me long to pump each side with mine at all. I'd say maybe around 20 minutes tops.  I hope you like it!

     

    ETA: That is 20 min. all together, not each side! Oops
