Re: Which breast pump do you like best?!

I liked my medela pump in style but I would recommend renting one at first.
Loved my Medila PISA. I exclusively pumped for about 10 months. (Yes, that is a LOT of pumping.)
Make it handsfree with a bustier like this one.

Medela is a great brand, and their customer service is really helpful. I think if you go on their website, they have a guide to help you choose the best one for your circumstances. If you're going back to work and pumping frequently, you definitely need a double electric, which both the PISA and the Freestyle are. I got the Freestyle, because at the time, I was traveling for work frequently and I liked the rechargeable battery feature. The handsfree can be useful, but there are bras that can make any pump handsfree (although you can't walk around with most, because they'll be plugged into the wall).
Also, check with your insurance company to see if they cover part or all of the cost, some do and many women don't know to ask.
