Anyone chosen a breastpump yet?

Just wondering what you chose and why. I think I've got a few ideas but am still waiting to meet with an LC at my doctor's office - they have a breastfeeding boutique of sorts with LCs on staff to help you choose a pump, bras, etc.

Anyway, if you've picked one yet I'd love to hear about it!

    I'm going with a Medela, still undecided on which model. They're recommended by my midwives, and all their products are BPA free...

    I just got the Medela PISA this past June after having DS. I really liked it. I'm planning on using it again. That's nice that your office has a shop!

    I registered for mine yesterday online.  there are so many raves about it...its the Medela Electric Pump from BRU.

    Its a duo pump, so after regular breast feeeding you can store your milk for your DH and others to help with feedings.

    Medela freestyle for me too! I talked to my sister about them...she had a manual one for her first and decided it was worth it to buy the fancy kind..so she got a medela and I will too!

    Medela Pump In Style Advanced Breastpump - Shoulder Bag (BRU Item# 267010).  My sister has a 6 month old and that is the one she uses.  I'm obviously trusting her on this one.  She has never had a problem.  I would advise getting the car charger though to use on the go.

    My friend, a PA and new mom, told me to register for the Medela Pump in Style.  I was registered for the Freestyle and she told me to change it.

    Either the Medela PIS or the Medela Freestyle - seems to be the popular choice on here :)

    Thanks girls! I'm trying to do as much research as I can on the Freestyle vs. PISA. Seems like there are pros and cons on both.

    Sometimes I think you don't know what you're missing if you just pick one and don't look back. All these options - not just breastpumps, but everything else! - can make your head spin!

    This one, excellent reviews.

    anyone considering renting one from the hospital before buying one? ive been told by a lot of new moms that BFing is not a garuntee....so before you put that much money out...to make sure you're going to be able to continue beyond the first few weeks.

     

    just a thought to consider.

    The Medela Pump in Style Advance Backpack version. A friend at work has it and says the let-down function is great because it makes pumping much faster. A major plus for any mom, especially if you have a busy job like we do (staff nurses on an oncology floor).
