Getting a hospital grade pump

I searched and searched and finally found a hospital grade pump to borrow. (An LC that helped me with latch issues with D.)

Anyone have success with using a hospital grade pump? It's a Medela Symphony. 

::crossing fingers:: that this helps!

    I EP'd for the first nine weeks with C and I rented a hospital grade pump.  My output was much better with the Symphony than with my PIS.  GL!

    I used one for the first 2 months.  It was definitely worth it to establish my supply.

    When I pumped at work that's the same kind of pump I used...luckily we have one of them in the staff pumping rooms on every unit, so I was able to use one the entire year that I pumped when at work. My home pump was the Medela Freestyle and the Symphony was much better and faster!

    Thanks, ladies! Gives me hope!

    I'm using the Ameda Purely Yours. It's what I used with D for a year. Not sure how it compares with the PIS though.

    I had a APY, and now have a PIS.  I prefer the PIS.  I liked the Ameda, but the Medela just works better IMO.  Much more efficient, and I'm not exactly sure why.  They seem to function similarly.

    LOL, I was in the shower this morning when it occurred to me that I should have asked you about your pump.  It's definitely worth it to use the hospital-grade.  You should get much better results!  Can't wait to hear.
