    Pump In Style Advanced Breastpump Shoulder Bag 2008

    An electric retail pump with research-based and hospital proven, 2-Phase Expression? Technology for more milk in less time*.  2-Phase Expression is an advanced pumping pattern that mimics a baby's natural nursing pattern and consists of two phases, the Stimulation phase with fast and light sucking to start milk flowing and Expression phase, slower sucking with more vacuum to express more milk gently and efficiently.  First researched and developed for hospital-grade breastpumps, this technology is now available for personal-use pumps

    PIS Advanced.  Its the most recommended by moms that have a pump as well as lactation consultants.

    I have Aetna...they don't cover it, unless:

    1. For the period of time that a newborn is detained in the hospital after the mother is discharged; breast pump rental is not considered medically necessary once the newborn is discharged; or
    2. For babies who have congenital anomalies that interfere with feeding, breast pump rental is considered medically necessary for the first month after discharge from the hospital.

    I have Blue Cross Blue Shield...and an OB who has already stated that a pump will be "medically necessary" for me and will write a script :)  

    I plan on calling next week to find out for sure what the restrictions are though.

    I am actually going to rent one from our local medicine shop. I am hesitant to buy, because with DD my milk never came in and she was losing weight. Therefore she was put on formula. I want to "try" to breastfeed with this DC, but I am not going to buy a pump until I know for sure.

    My cousin gave me her Medela PIS but I was registered for the Lanisoh double electric. I heard that one works great and is only $160.....

    I have the Medela PIS...LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! when I was pregnant with DD I was seriously considering just getting a single electric, but then decided just to spend the extra money and get the medela.  I am SOOOO glad we did that.  It's so quick and handy...I was able to pump both sides at the same time in 10-15 min (6 oz. each)...and really holds up! it is DEFINITELY worth the money!!

    I can't decide between Medela Freestyle or Medela PISA. I'll probably wait until the very end to buy one and do more research until then.

    I have the Medela Pump In Style Advance. I used it with my daughter, and I liked it as much as one can like a pump. This time around I will have that and then I am also going to get a hand pump (one of my girlfriends swears by hers).

    I exclusively pumped with DS.  After renting a hospital-grade one for a couple of months, I decided to buy a PISA.  I was very happy with it.  I got the tote bag but I think the backpack would work just fine also.  I even had to pump in a plane one time and it was just fine (plenty of blankets, of course). 

    Check Lactationcare.com The have the PISA starting at $228.  I got mine from an online site but the store was in NJ.  I can't remember the name but the cost was similar. 

     Good luck!

    Avent Isis Electrionic---I really loved it and had no problems with it.  Although, what I really hate, is that they don't sell or make available replacement parts.  Towards the end of my needing to use it, the parts got a little less snug-fitting.  I don't know if I will use it or purchase a different model.
