Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community May 3, 2006
Pros: 2Phase Expression, comes with everything you need, easy to use/clean/maintain, good quality, adjustable speed/strength
Cons: Very Expensive, Not for occasional pumpers, may need to purchase more shields/tubing, can't purchase second-hand
Summary: I was one of those people who thought: "How hard can breastfeeding be?" I mean, seriously... If it were that hard, the human race would have died out a long time ago, right? Wrong. Apparently, breastfeeding is much harder than it looks because I ... read more

Pros: Helped me keep my baby formula-free when returning to work full-time
Cons: Shoulder bag is heavy; breast shields not so comfy
Summary: I received my Medela Pump in Style Advanced from my mother in law shortly after my son was born. I knew I'd be returning to work when he was about 12 weeks old. These days, I don't know what I'd do without my breast pump! My son is now 8 months old, ... read more

Pros: Great pump. No complaints at all.
Cons: None
Summary: I am a new mother of TWINS and I do not think I would have been able to give my babies the best food on earth for a full 6 months with out the Medela Pump In Style Advanced. It is FANTASTIC and worth every penny. I love the dual pump let down. It is ... read more

Pros: Fast pumping, easy to use and clean, works great.
Cons: It's expensive.
Summary: When looking for a breast pump I wasn't really sure what to get since I had no idea what I was doing, so I asked around. The consensus was most of my friends and family had used the Medela brand. So I looked around at reviews online and found this to be ... read more

Pros: Very convenient, quick, inexpensive comparing to the other pro models.
Cons: Still a little pricey.
Summary: To a mom, it's nothing short of a miracle. To most dads, it's nothing short of a huge sigh... From a father's perspective (moi), it's a great thing to have, both on-the-go, and at home when a father wants to relieve the mother from the feeding chore, ... read more

Pros: Fast, easy to use and clean, and the power of the pump is customizable
Cons: Tubes and funnels can be a bit time consuming to clean effectively
Summary: Let's face it - pumping is not a glamorous or fun thing .... but it is probably one of the most helpful things that a new mom can do who has chosen to breast feed. We bought our Medela Pump in Style Advanced after being shown the product at our ... read more

Pros: Easy to use and clean, nice looking bag
Cons: Slightly heavy, very expensive
Summary: I purchased this product a few weeks before my daughter was born and didn't think I would use it. Boy was I wrong! I started using it the day my milk came in. We had to supplement nursing with pumped milk in a syringe and I couldn't have done it ... read more

Pros: Sleek package, excellent quality
Cons: Bag can be heavy with everything in it, motor is quite loud
Summary: I purchased the Medela pump in style advanced shoulder bag after giving birth to my premature baby. I knew that I needed a breast pump when I returned to work, however, because my baby was premature, I needed to make a purchase decision sooner. My baby ... read more

Pros: Stylish tote.
Cons: not enough suction or speed
Summary: I purchased this pump after successfully pumping and breastfeeding my first child for 14 months with an Ameda pump that I borrowed from a family member and have been terribly disappointed with its performance. The pump does not make my milk come

Pros: Portability, and maximum collection.
Cons: Cost. Try to get a prescription for insurance coverage!
Summary: Only thing I don't understand is how every one encourages you to buy a new breast pump. There can be nothing 'unhygenic' about using or sharing an old pump. Just don't use someone else's collection equipment (bottles and vacuum tubing). It is an

Pros: Let-down phase, effective & sturdy motor. Backpack handy for handsfree
Cons: Bottle holders are shaky so don't knock them over! Pump is a little heavy.
Summary: When I went back to work, I pumped 3x per day until my son was about 9 months old, then pumped 2x, and then 1x day from 11-12 months. I NEVER had any problems with the pump, always had a let down (the let-down phase really does work) and I avoided

Pros: fast pump, pumps a lot of milk, double pump
Cons: expensive
Summary: I bought this pump with my second and last baby and I completely regret not getting this pump the first time around. I got a not as good pump (but still expensive) which ended up not even working for my second daughter. I highly recommend this pump for

Pros: Medela, in general, makes a good pump
Cons: The Advanced is NOT as good as the Original.
Summary: I used the Pump In Style Original with my first child. It worked great and allowed me to breastfeed for 10 months after going back to work. The pump started causing me problems and Medela said that they are only under warranty for one year. So, I

Pros: Solid Quality
Cons: Expensive
Summary: I've been using this pump for a little over 6 months now and am very pleased. I doubt my milk would have come in without this pump. I bought this pump after reading user reviews and listening to the teacher's recommendation at lactation class.

Pros: Adjustable settings, ease of use, Let down feature
Cons: Cost
Summary: I bought this pump after the birth of my third child. I had used the Avent Isis pump after my last two children, but this time around I was experiencing too much pain in my wrists to continue with a manual pump. I was hesitant as prior to the birth of

Pros: Fast, effective, good warranty, easy to use
Cons: Costly, could use a bit more storage room
Summary: I absolutely love this pump. It is fast and effective. I was hesitant to spend so much money but after doing some research, I found places that had the pump cheaper. Best of all, the place that I purchased my pump from had a lactation consultant who

Pros: Natural breast pumping, great quality, great customer service, great packaging. You won't be sorry!
Cons: None, get this for Mommy now!
Summary: My wife and I just had a baby last month, and we shopped around and spoke to our friends and family about the BEST breast pump. Although cost was an issue, we wanted the best pump (no hand pumps!, or pumps from Target, etc). Everybody we talked to
