I am planning to breast feed my baby for as long as I can. But I don`t know what breat pump to get. I just registered last week, and I put the Medela one on my registry (I don`t really expect anyone to buy it for me, I just wanted to look it up when I got home) Has anyone used that brand before? I know it`s got to be one of the most expensive one, but does that make it the best?

I found that they hurt and were ineffectual compared to a hand pump and ultimately what worked best for me was hand expression (my own hand). By far the cheapest way is by using your own hand, and it is tiring at first however you build up strength as you go and it is more efficient in the long run. 2nd to that the hand pump that I liked best was a Medela I can't remember how much it cost but, it was far less then the electric.

I exclusively pumped for 9 months, each session only took about 10min. to fully pump and it's so portable! I also bought the Medela Harmony for manual pumping if I needed to bring it into a restaurant or the zoo, or camping. It was also wonderful! I actually used my pump in style in the restroom at the zoo one time and no one even knew! Ha!

She used it for two of her kids and then lent it to 4 other mommies and it is about to come my way again for my second child. They sell accessories seperately so if you loose pieces or you want to lend it out, it's not a problem getting the pieces that you need. The best thing is that the motor still works after all of that pumping. I've heard that you pretty much get what you pay for when it comes to the pumps and that the cheaper ones tend to break much easier. If you want to read parent reviews go to www.babiesrus.com and look up breast pumps. Select a pump and look at the bottom of the description page for parent reviews. I often go to the Babies R Us web site to see what other parents think about products I'm looking to purchase for my son. Good Luck!

However, i work full time and when my son was 7 months old he started daycare full time. So i had to pump. If i was a SAHM, i would just have a $30 hand pump so i had something to use when i wanted to go out at night.
