I'm only 14 weeks today, we're researching pumps to see which is best.  Which do you like and which have you tried and wouldn't recommend?  Thanks!

    I have the Medela PISA.  I like it, but the only other one I've tried is a Medela hospital grade one.  I have the shoulderbag style, which as lots of room for parts, etc which is helpful since I take it to work.

    I exclusively pump and I have the Medela Freestyle and the Bailey Medical Nurture 3 pump.I started off  my pumping adventures with the Medela Harmony manual pump. Are you going to SAH or go back to  work? If you stay at home, I would recommend  just getting a manual  pump at first. You probably wouldn't need to use it much. If you go back to work I would recommend the Freestyle. I purchased the Bailey pump before I bought my Freestyle and I prefer the Bailey pump though. I really like how portable the freestyle is. I bought it for work.  I prefer the Bailey  pump because I pump more milk from it. This is either because I am used to the feel of it or because I think my Medela shields are too small and I haven't bought larger ones yet.  I can usually pump 6 ozs every 3 hours with my Bailey pump, while  I can only ever get 4 ozs with the freestyle.

    I love my Ameda Purely Yours. I've also used the hospital pump and a rented hospital grade pump. Both those used the same attachments as mine but mine is far more comfortable and still just as efficient.

    I have the Medela PISA shoulder bag.  I've never tried anything else, but I have had great luck with this one.  I used it for 9-plus months with DD#1 and it never let me down!

    I EP, and have a Medela PISA. I LOVE it! I purchased mine with a 20% off coupon at BRU, so it wound up being closer to $200.

    No matter what pump you get, I would check with your insurance company to see if they would cover it as a medical supply. Your doctor may have to write you a prescription, but it would be worth it!
