Medela Pump in Style Review

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had my heart set on breast feeding. I bought a cheap Avant manual pump because I was a stay-at-home mom and I figured that the baby would be feeding from the breast 99.9% of the time - so why would I need an expensive breast pump?

Turns out, many new moms forget to take their new baby's personality into account when they make plans! You may think your baby will breast feed, wear clothes, and sleep (during the day OR night) but you may be wrong lol. My child absolutely would NOT breast feed at all. I really wanted her to have the benefits of breast milk so I tried pumping with the manual.

Needless to say, it did NOT work well. My hand nearly fell off trying to get a decent amount. It was even slightly painful. However, with me not working, finances were very tight and I couldn't afford an electric breast pump. I spoke with my doctor and the local WIC office and I was able to receive a FREE Medela Pump In Style breast pump! So, if you're on WIC and wanting to breast feed but are having problems, talk to your dr. and the WIC office. My dr. had to write me a prescription for them to give it to me free, but it was way worth it.

Anyway, it has several comfort settings. It extracts milk efficiently and it's really easy to use. It isn't noisy either, in case you have to pump in an office or public area. If you need a breast pump, this is the best one you can get. It's not uncomfortable at all once you get it set comfortably. You can pump both breasts at the same time. It also has a battery or AC adapter that you can use.
