Medela recommendation

Medela freestyle or pump in style advanced? I've compared the two online, but don't know which one to get. Would like some advice from moms that have used them before and whether they like them or not. My insurance does not pay for
The pump and target has a sale on the freestyle, so I'm trying to decide which to get. Any advice will help!

Re: Medela recommendation

  • Agree with @aylacbw‌ I'd get the freestyle for the flexibility if I could pick again.

  • Thank you for the advice!
  • I have the Freestyle and while I haven't used it yet, it comes very highly recommended by the friend who gave it to me. She used it for both of her kids for a year while working full-time.

  • I haven't used either yet. But I got the pump in style bc the reveiws I read all said that the freestyle didn't have as much suction power. I also read as much as people thought they would be moving around with it on, they really didn't. That when they spent the 15 minutes pumping they liked to just sit down for it anyway. So that's what pushed me to the pump in style. It was pretty much all good things about that one and it's cheaper.
  • I've had the freestyle, and while it's good, it's not as strong as the Pisa. It also is louder than the Pisa and is def stronger when plugged in, which defeats the purpose of the hands free and portable features. I gave mine to my sister and am getting the Pisa this time.

  • No advice on pumps as im a FTM, but I wanted to suggest changing your SN if thats your first and last name. Internet safety.
