Re: Breast Pumps

  • Medela Pump in style advanced... I have a few coworkers and good friends that swear by it!

  • You definitely are going to want a double electric pump.  I exclusively pumped for DS1 for 13 months, meaning I pumped 7-8 times/day for over a year with a Medela Pump in Style Advanced.  I was able to use the SAME pump for another 12 months for pumping while at work for DS2 (luckily he nursed at home).  

    That thing is a beast and did a great job!
