Between breastfeeding and pumping breast milk, I sometimes feel like a dairy cow. But, I assure you my name is not Bessie. After trying out a very painful pump that was given to me, I called my local lactation clinic and scheduled an appointment. They...

Cons: I haven't found any!!!!

Pros: gentle suction, cycles
Cons: loud/can't but it in stores
