Which breast pump is better?

Question

I just did a previous questioin about which one was better. The Medela swing pump or the Lansinoh pump. Well what about the Ameda pump. I was thinking about getting a Medela swing pump. I will be a stay at home mom and I only need it when I go to the store or someones house or even for dad to breast feed. Well I was reading that the Ameda was really good. That was more for women tha has larger breast. Well I have larger breast like a DD. So out of the 3 of them which one would be better and better for bigger breast.

Answer 1

I have the Ameda Purely Yours and it's good.  I really wanted the Medela Pump In Style, but my insurance covered the Ameda.

Answer 2

I didn't see your previous post, but I have the Lansinoh pump and it has worked great for me.  Granted, I am a SAHM and have only pumped maybe 30 or 40 times, so I wouldn't know how it holds up to repeated use.  This pump will "accommodate" you just fine as far as breast size is concerned.

Answer 3

The Lasinoh pump is manufactured by Ameda, and is basically the same pump in a different color with a few less accessories.  The Medela Swing is supposed to be an excellent pump, too.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

I didn't read your previous question....

That being said, I'm not sure about the pumps you've suggested (I use a Bailey), but one thing I CAN recommend is to make sure whatever one you get is self-cycling.  The one I have, I have to cycle it by myself (covering a hole with my thumb), and the task gets old very quickly.

Answer 5

I am DD as well and got the medela.  It comes w. 4 cup sizes if you have big boobies.  I love my medela.  I heard so many bad things on the other ones.  

Answer 6

I rarely use a pump- for occaisional use like you're describing, I use an evenflo pump, and it's fine. I used it today for the first time in a month (have a 6 week old) and had three ounces in about 7 minutes.

It works great for my purposes and the cost was around $50.

I wouldn't buy a more expensive one (such as thoae you mentioned) unless I was going to be using it daily (going back to work etc.)

The few days I needed to pump alot (due to jaundice) I just rented a hospital grade pump.  

Answer 7

I have the original Pump in Style, I have 36 H and it works great.  I use the size 27 mm shield and I have had no problems.  I am also a SAHM and am now using it with my second son.
