Medela Pump in Style Reviews

I purchased a Medela Pump In Style Breast Pumpafter having my first baby. I was determined to breastfeed despite suffering from mastitis and intraductal yeast in the first week after giving birth and my midwife suggested that I get lots of rest, find a bra that would fit (ended up with a cup size G), and purchase a good quality breast pump.

Well, the lactation consultant just so happened to have a size G bra handy and the Birth Center had this Medela Pump in Style breast pump in stock. I was at least able to do two of the three things she suggested. I still haven't gotten any rest and I now have...

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 have been breastfeeding since 1984. I have 5 children the oldest of which is 25 and the youngest of which is 18 months. I had a difficult time starting breastfeeding with all of my children except for my youngest. With the Medela Instyle breastpump, starting breastfeeding with my new baby was so easy. It was less painful than not using a breast pump and less messy than using a smaller, less powerful breast pump. Using the Medela Instyle breastpump allowed me to get through the painful process of starting breastfeeding because I was able to pump the excess breast milk when my daughter was not...

I got the Medela Pump in Style right after my daughter was born.  My daughter was in the hospital for several weeks after I was released so I was forced to start pumping early. It worked wonderfully even with needing to pump 7 - 8 times a day.  It was comparable to the hospital one that I had to use before I was released from the hospital.  Once I went back to work it continued to work well- it is so easy to tote back and forth to work. The bag makes it easy to discreetly carry the needed supplies for pumping wherever I go.  I love that it has a cigarette adapter and runs on batteries as it...

Bought this with my first and it was amazing.  I needed to pump a supply so that I could have surgery when she was just under 1 month old.  This pump was gentle and effective.   It was the perfect breastpump.  It traveled well, was easy to clean, and the storage containers were perfect.

I am a married, working mother of five in my mid thirties.  After five children, my primary concern with any purchase is quality and affordability.  I purchased the Medella Pump In Style after seeing it on Ebay a little over four years ago and used it for my son first, then for my daughter who will be 1 year next month. It came with a self contained carrying case, two bottles, tubes/hoses, storage containers, instruction manual, suction cups and spare parts like seals. The pump had an adjustable suction knob all moving parts enclosed for safety. It was used almost every day after my three...

I, like many first time mom's, was astonished when looking to purchase my first breast pump.  When I realized that a good pump would cost me at least $280.00, I thought, that is a rediculous amount of money and started to look for a cheaper model.  Well, again, like many before me, I settled on a Playtex double electric pump.  And, as always, you get what you pay for.  I had saved a hefty amount by purchasing the Playtex, however, it didn't work well for me.  I ended up buying the Medela double electric pump anyway.  However, this was possibly the best "baby" purchase I made.  Not only did...

Medela is the only brand of breast pumps I would ever consider buying.  The pump and style backpack is wonderful.  It carries everything you need for pumping discreetly.  It comes with a battery pack backup, which was nice to have when we had a power outage. The optional car adaptor to purchase is wonderful for traveling. I was able to pump in the car discreetly without having to stop to pump. It comes with not only the battery pack, but tubing, a cooler bag, ice pack, bottles for storing and to feed baby if you choose, and an initial set of storage bags to freeze your milk, along with directions...

The medella pump in style is a briefcase appearing double electric pump with options for a battery/car adaptor.  It's compact, discreet and convienient. It doesn't scream to the world "breast pump".  The double or single pumping bottles work well with auto cycling and hands free use when combined with medela's nursing bra.  (The bra cup opens from 3:00 to 9:00 rather than drop down flaps so the pump horns can be inserted and pumping can happen hands free!) 

This pump is a bit pricy, I paid $170 BUT it is so much faster and more effective and kept up my milk supply once back to work full time...

I love the Medela Pump in Style double breast pump. I've used it for 14 months, about three times a day and it still does it's job.

Before I purchased this pump, I used a First Years breast pump which died on me in a month. After that I used a Medela manual pump which was tedious and painful, until I decided to go with the Medela Pump in Style. This medela electic pump is the way to go!

The pros: I like the fact that it looks sort of like a small cooler, so there's no strange looks when you tote it around. The suction and speed are adjustable, which is a huge plus for those of us who are just...

I am a full-time working mom and the Medela Pump In Style has been a lifesaver for me.  I actually have two of them - one for home and one for work.  I exclusively breastfed my daughter for the first year and was lucky enough to have a boss who was supportive and was able to offer a discreet area to pump.  I took two pump breaks a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the Medela Pump In Style worked beautifully for me.

Not only am a full-time working mom I also travel from time to time and the Medela Pump In Style worked beautifully as a carry on when I flew.  It was discreet...

The Medela Pump in Style was recommended to me by the Le Leche League meeting I went to while pregnant.  They asked if i would be returning to work, and when I said "yes", they almost all unanimously said that this is a product that I would need.

I had previously registered for what I assume is a mid-grade breast pump.  It was not a hand pump, but it was not as nice or expensive as the Pump in Style.  So I went back and changed the registry. 

I am lucky enough to be able to bring my daughter to work, so I actually don't use this product all that much.  If I was working full-time, and didn't...

The Medela Pump In Style Advanced is great!  I'm a working mother of 2 beautiful boys and without this I would not be able to continue breastfeeding.  The pump is very efficient, easy to use and stylish too.  No one will know what you are carrying!

 While I am at work, which consists of mostly men, I can carry this with confidence.  The pump is fairly quiet, so I just turn the radio on and no one knows what I'm doing.  While I am at home, I can easily carry it from room to room as sometimes I need to pump upstairs or downstairs to keep up with the boys!

Medela has great support and when...

I am a mom of three children, ages 9,7 and 3.  I breastfed all of them for at least 13 months.  My youngest was breastfed until he was nearly 3.  So, I have ample breastfeeding experience.  For my first two children, I was working full time and the ONLY way that I managed to continue nursing them and having them receive ONLY breastmilk was because I used the Medela Pump In Style.  I had used several other breastpumps in the beginning, trying to find one that was comfortable and actually worked to express milk.  I went through many until I finally gave in and spent the money on the P.I.S. ...

Before finally purchasing my Medela Pump In Style Advanced, I did a lot of product research including not only internet reviews but also talking to friends and family members who had personal experience with the Medela namebrand as well as other namebrands.  My sister, a nurse, as well as our breastfeeding class instructor which was also a infant and newborn nurse of over 20 years, adamently recommended the Medela Breastpumps for nursing mothers.  I cannot even begin to describe how pleased I have been with my Pump In Style.  It is not only easy to use but easy to clean!  It causes no discomfort...
