Any working moms have the Ameda Purely Yours pump?

GreekyPie · December 2009

Just curious if you would recommend it or do I shell out the extra bucks for a Medela PISA?

If it matters, I will be working at home (with the baby and caretaker) until he is 5 mos. old, when he will go to a center daycare so I will need to send pumped BM. Also I am hoping to switch jobs around the same time so I can't be sure I will still be working at home, so whatever pump I buy should be good enough (quiet enough?) for a traditional office job situation.

I used Lansinoh's pump (same thing just cheaper and purple) for the first 6 months without issues. I was never an overproducer with milk and I noticed at 6 months I was kinda decreasing in supply (granting it was over winter time and I was sick) so I borrowed a friends PIS (the old Pump In Style) and after a week I noticed I started to get more. Was it the pump? I often wonder if I would have started out with the PIS if I would have had less supply issues. I think its one of those things you won't know until you try it out. I know several women that used the PY's pump and had no issues and got lots of milk! But I will say this- I missed how small & lite my Lansinoh pump was compared to the PIS.

I have the Lansinoh, which is the same pump. Loved it. I mentioned it in that linked post.

I have it and like it. I've only been using it for a few months, but no problems so far. And it fits perfectly in the freebie Similar diaper bag they gave me at the hospital, so I definitely wouldn't shell out money for the bag : )

I actually have two because I keep one at work and one at home. I have been happy with it so far.

i had both (both gifted to me - i totally lucked out) and they are both great pumps. upside of the ameda is that it is a closed system, so you can buy a used one and feel safe using it, and feel confident that it will be fine for more than one kiddo.

now i kinda want the freestyle for the new baby...but i am thinking that THREE breastpumps is more than any one woman should have experience with. FOUR if you count the hospital grade one i rented at first....

I used the Ameda for the six weeks I worked after having DD. I had a lot of luck with it and had no supply issues. I found it fairly quiet. I was teaching and had to pump in a tutoring room in the satellite trailer, which had no sound proofing. YOu could hear people's telephone conversations in their offices with the door closed. That being said I wasn't self-conscious about the noise it put off. My pump did make a slight beeping noise with the hum of the motor, which I have read some people complain about but it didn't bother me.

My sister had the PIS and loved it. She worked after having both her girls and was able to successfully pump for the 6 months she nursed both times.

FYI - The Lansinoh BPA-free double-electric pump is essentially the same as the Ameda, only a lot less $.

I bought the Lansinoh pump @ www.drugstore.com where it is on sale for $102.99. You can also find coupon codes for free shipping & $10.00 off your order.

I have it and pumped with it until my DS weaned at 10 months. (I was pregnant, would have nursed longer...)

Anyway, its a good pump. All the things everyone else already said.
