I am pregnant now and plan to exclusively bf but I also breastfed my other children as well. I just purchased the Ameda Purely Yours breastpump because after doing EXTENSIVE research I learned that Medela is not the best breastpump. The milk backs up into the tubing and contaminates the milk. All of their pumps do this. When purchasing a pump, you would want one that has different suction settings and different cycles to fit your needs. You can also purchase larger cones if your girls are larger. I had to do that myself. Also, are you trying to just pump your milk and bottle feed? Or are you exclusively breastfeeding? Because if you are only breastfeeding you should be nursing hime 6-12 times a day. If you want to store up some of your milk in the freezer you can pump one breast as he nurses from the other breast or pump after nursing him from both sides. It seems like if you are getting 5-10oz when you pump that is great. Always remember that the more you keep with it the better you and baby will be at it....Good for you choosing to bf because it is absolutely the best for your baby. Keep up the good work :0)
