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 best way to ensure my baby stays breast-fed.... Wed, 20 Feb 2008 05:49:56 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Medela-Pump-In-Style-Advanced-Backpack-review-677a3 brookerie 4
