Hello ladies!! Hope everyone is enjoying their last month. :-)

I need to get a breast pump and I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations. Or any brands I should stay away from. I am clueless on this subject so any feedback is appreciated!!

Thanks :)

    Have you called your insurance to see if one is covered? In my opinion, you typically can't go wrong with free (due to insurance coverage). I got one with no out of pocket cost through my insurance.

    I have BCBS and the supplier I spoke to does not do Medela, but Ameda, which they apparently have not had issues with. Mine will be competely covered by insurance, so free is good!

    If you google breast pump reviews, you'll find millions. So if you get a choice after calling your insurance, do that.

    Medela, Ameda and Hygeia are the most popular/best rated based on what I've heard.  You can get an Ameda closed system double electric for a very reasonable price.  Hygeia is endorsed by LLL.  Medela is what a lot of hospitals use and, if they give you free parts, you can use those on your pump at home.

    I only used a manual (Medela) last time.  This time, my insurance covers a double electric 100%, so I bought the Medela freestyle since it's wearable/portable.
    This is what I have read and what I would recommend if you do need to buy one out of pocket. I was able to get a Hygeia through my insurance though.
