Pump recommendations

forever412

Hi ladies! My son, at 4 months, has finally decided the bottle is not the devil. Woot! I work from home, so it was never imperitive for him to take one. However, I would really enjoy more than a two hour trip out of the house. I've been using a manual pump since he was born, but I'm fairly positive this won't cut it much longer.... And my hand hurts. Haha I dont have the need for a heavy duty pump, and would like to keep my spending around $100 if possible. If any of you have had success with semi-frequent pumps (thinking medela swing and the like), I would love to hear your recommendations, or what not to buy! TIA ladies!

Honestly, I love my Lansinoh Affinity (It's ~115$) double electric. I work FT and pump 3x's a day while I'm at work, and it has been great. Also, it's a closed system. I would NOT recommend any open system pumps--they're much harder to clean.

I have this too and I ep.  I haven't had it for long so I can't respond with how long it lasts, but it does have a decent warranty so if it did break, I could get it replaced.  I was renting a Medela Symphony for a while and the Lansinoh is more efficient and I get more milk out with it.

I've heard others say they don't like it, but I think it's great.  I've tried a borrowed Pump in Style as well and didn't like it as much, and they are much more pricey.

Thank you both! I looked into the affinity and that sounds just like what I need!
