Freestyle

Anyone use this pump?  I have been pumping for a preemie, and he is now latching with a nipple shield, but he doesn't eat enough on there so I am still pumping (most of the day) with my hospital pump - an Ameda elite. 

I am hoping to pick up a pump that I can own and will pump welll, but won't tie me down all the time, hence the reason I was looking at the Freestyle.  Does anyone have experience with this pump?

    I have it and love it.  I would recommend a hands free bra though as the clips for hands free that come with it are a pain. :)  The battery life is great.

    I have used one for almost 8 months now and have loved it.

    I have it and have been using it for a month and I love it.  I like that you can getup and move around, not be tied down.  I agree with getting a handsfree bra or make one of your own.  The attachments they include were too much of a pain for me.

    I have been using the hands free bra and love it! I bought two so I have one to use while one is in the wash. :)  

    I guess my biggest question with it is - how is it in comparison to the hospital pumps with suction?

    I have a low supply and had a lot of problems nursing a first. I rented a medela symphony and owned an ameda purely yours. I had such a bad experience with te Ameda (3 broke after each time they replaced them. They admitted that there was a manufacture problem when they switched to production in China). Ameda ended up refunding me and I bought the freestyle. I LOVE the freestyle. It is great! I get the same output as the symphony. Good luck with your purchase. On a side note, I got amazon to give me 20% off because I asked them to match a coupon I had for babies r us. It's worth a try.
