Take off the shackles-- you are now free!

FEB

2007

My overall take The Medela Breast Pump is a must have for any working mom that is breastfeeding or any mom that wants to escape the shackles of breastfeeding. If you are using a hand pump, retire it. This is a million times better and worth every penny. You are time-starved, right?… read full review »

I initially bought the Avent Isis IQ single pump but after coming home from the hospital and trying to get my milk to come in, a double pump was a must. I bought the Medela from the hospital upon their and friends' suggestion. It is easy to use and clean and pretty much gets the job done but I have… read full review »

Pump is worth every penny

married, a woman, loving this product, a working mom

APR

2008

This pump is worth every penny. Luckily I didn't have to pay for this pump, as it was given to me. But if I had to purchase a pump, this would be the one. When I first started back to work 6 weeks after giving birth, I used only a manual pump and my pumping sessions would be around 3 times a day and for a half an hour each session. Once I received this pump my sessions were cut back to only 15 minutes at a time with double the output. I was thoroughly impressed. With working full time I was able to exclusively feed my baby breastmilk for 7 months and then… read full review »

Great breastpump, easy to use and easy to take care of.

I love this breast pump. It works very well, the bottles are also BPA free so they are safe for my son to drink out of and safe for me to reuse again and again. He wasn't so into the nipples at first, but he got used to them quickly. The parts are easy to take apart and put back together again, it's easy to clean and the pump comes out of the backpack easy for traveling. I was able to not take the whole backpack and fly out of state with it to my parent's house. It fit nicely in my suitcase. — Great breast pump, bottles, etc. Great for the value. —… read full review »

Easy to use, high-quality construction, worth every cent

MAY

2008

The Medela pumps are so high quality. Very durable construction, easy to clean accessories, and it comes in a very discreet and stylish bag/backpack with all the room you need for storage. — It has a cycle that stimulates let down before the main pumping cycle. Both "cycles" have adjustable suction. Also comes with the ac adapter to plug into a wall and battery pack, with the option to hook up a car adapter. — We have a Mother's Room where I work with a few curtained areas that allow breastfeeding mothers to pump. You can tell when someone has a Medela pump by the soothing noise… read full review »

great if you have the need for speed and frequency

If you're looking for a bargain this is not the product for you. If you only need to pump every once and a while- you may not need all of the bells and whistles that this product has. However, if you are a working mom, a really busy person always on the go, then this system is for you. I have been both a stay at home mom and a working mother. I could not afford to have a medela pump with my first child. I had the avent hand pump. And while I persevered and pumped successfully for nine months, a quality electric pump would have made it… read full review »

This is the third pump I have tried and I love it. I know from experience that some pumps can be painful and irritating, but that's not the case with this pump. It's very easy on such a sensitive area. I never had a problem with leaking from around the pump or any problems with defects. It has worked perfectly for over a year and it shows no signs of breaking. The price is a bit high, but it's worth every penny! The two-pump feature cuts pumping time in half, but it can also be used for one at a time pumping. It really gives you the freedom to pump… read full review »

Greatest breast pump on the market! Restored my faith in pumping

looking for durability, a working mom, looking for convenience, impressed with this product, a woman, value conscious, married

NOV

2007

This breast pump restored my faith in pumping! My son couldn't do formula (made him "screamingly-gassie"), and I was unable to "produce" at around 7:00 at night, and that's when he was STARVING!!! A friend of mine gave me one of these, I would use it in the morning (when I had more than enough milk), and it would be given to him when I was "low" at that time of night. He was happy, which made the rest of us happy! I was able to bring it with me, and pump in my car or in a bathroom when I was working. It gave me the ability to never feed my son… read full review »

DURABLE!!!

NOV

2007

This pump is outstanding! When my son refused to nurse correctly, I committed myself to pumping full time for him in order for him to get most of the benefits of breast feeding. I used this pump 5-6 times a day for 8 months to feed my son and it never let me down! It was great to take to work or use as a passenger in the car in order to express milk. — The price tag was a bit high, but our hospital gave the attachments to us for free when we told them we were breastfeeding. This gives you the option of either renting one or using another person's. Some… read full review »

This is hands-down the best breast pump out there. However, with quality comes cost. It is one of the more expensive pumps, but if you use it as often as I did it pays for itself in convenience and ease of use. There is a "let down" feature that I love. I starts the pumping out slow, and once your milk is in it increases the pace and suction. It is so convenient, everything that you need for pumping is contained in the backpack, and the backpack is quite attractive. Right after my son was born I had a really hard time with him latching on. To prevent engourgement and continue to have… read full review »

This pump is easy, convenient, and comfortable

This is a great breast pump -- fast and easy to use, whether you're pumping for spare bottles or just to relieve some engorgement. It's portable and convenient, and I like that you can pump right into bottles and then store them in the fridge or freezer. I got the adapters for the Avent bottles (which have a wider mouth than other bottles) and was very happy with them. — — The only drawback is the price. It's a good investment if you plan to have more than one child, or you're a working mom who has to pump a lot. Unfortunately, because of health concerns, you shouldn't pass this… read full review »

Great Pump, even for non-working moms!

NOV

This is such a great breast pump. I got it when I had my first child and used it everyday, even though I wasn't working. It was great to be able to pump in the mornings and use that for a feeding later in the day while running errands. I used it daily for a year and it worked just as good two years later when I had my second child. I never had any problems with it. I really liked that it came with a battery adapter. I used that frequently as well, especially while in the car on trips. — It's definitely worth the money. I would not have been able… read full review »

Great pump that allows for quick, comfortable expression of milk

mom of 2, pro-breastfeeding, thirty something, a working mom, married, impressed with this product, looking for durability, loving this product

DEC

2007

I started with the 98 pump in style and while it worked great, it was much slower than the advanced pump in style. The backpack is easy to carry and everything will fit in there for mobility. The expression mode on this machine really helps speed up the process and this was a great asset to have recently as I am producing a lot more milk than my 2-week old daughter can eat right now. Being able to pump easily and quickly helps me alleviate the situation, while beginning to freeze milk for when I go back to work after my leave. This pump is worth the money, but it is… read full review »

Medla puts out an awesome product. My pump lasted for 3 babies. With about 6 weeks to go with my last baby I had to replace a tube - some moisture got in the tube and there was a little mildew (after not pumping for 2 weeks - since I only pumped at work and I was on vacation). Replacement tubes are not available in stores. My husband had to create a replacement using tubing from Home Depot. Other than that - no problems with it. ITs quiet - I used it at work and in the car. Very easy to use. I highly recommed it to all my friends. And make… read full review »

Great quality; quick and easy for the best nursing experience

mom of 2, married, value conscious, looking for durability

FEB

2008

With my first child I used a cheaper manual pump (Avent Isis) and thought it was fine. I never really had enough breast milk on hand, however, because I only pumped as a last resort because it was slow, tedious, and somewhat painful. I recently found the Medela on sale and have used it with my second child. It is SO much easier. It's small and simple to use, comfortable, quick (only takes a couple minutes), and easy to clean. I use the Medela microwave sterilizing bags and cleanup is only a couple minutes. I am a stay-at-home mom and recommend this pump even for the casual user. The… read full review »

Wonderful, efficient breast pump!

DEC

2007

My insurance company purchased this pump for me since my baby was premature and in the NICU. I love this pump! It has a 2 minute stimulation cycle which promotes milk letdown before the pump starts the real pumping. It is a duel breastpump which really cuts down on the amount of time needed--I pump fulltime, no nursing. I have been pumping for 4 months now and only express milk 3 times a day and am still getting 24-30 ounces a day which is more than enough for my son. Within 20 minutes I am done pumping. This pump is very comfortable and easily… read full review »
