Electric breast pumps I am looking at breast pumps now to get an idea of how much I should be saving up for one since my…

I used (& will use) Bailey's Nuture III double electric breast pump. I loved it. I also read on their site that it is the only FDA approved pumps that can be passed on to others. I haven't researched to see if that's true but it's what it said.

Edit: I didn't click on the link but it also said something about helping low income families to get a breast pump (or something like that. Sorry I'm tired)

Edit #2:

I had to buy extra filters (like $6) because I dropped a bottle & it shot milk into the filter. I think a basic pack of all the extras was around $36

Medela! Try putting it on layaway!

@third I contacted my insurance company. They do not cover breast pumps unfortunately.

I have a yucky feeling about using a used breast pump that isn't hospital grade. My hospital also doesn't rent them out either ?

Are you in the U.S.? Most medical cover a breast pump now. Ask you insurance company first

I would check craigslist or eBay. A lot of people are getting pumps from there insurance but have no intention to use them and they are selling them. Brand new. Very cheap.

Do not buy a used breastpump unless it is a closed system and designed for more than one user. Only hospital grade medela pumps are closed systems. It's not hygienic.

Ameda is an affordable option and is a closed system. I got mine for about $140 three years back and it's on its second run with my dd now.

I got a new medela pump in style and tons of extras at a thrift shop today for under 100.00??

I rented a hospital grade pump from the hospital I delivered in. It was a Medela symphony. I Also purchased a hands-free pump to use some but I never got as much milk out as I did using the hospital grade pump. Just something you may want to check into if you plan on pumping several times a day while working.

Research the Hygeia enjoye. It's the one I went with. I did a lot of research on it after it came highly recommended to me by multiple mothers and a lactation consultant.

I don't know the names of the parts ? but pretty much everything that isn't the pump from hoses to the bottle

So are the in styles all the same just different bags that you can pick from?

@ Gr8 what extra pieces should I be buying? Sorry if I sound stupid I'm very uneducated when it comes to breast feeding and pumping.

Medalia pump in style (any style u like )i had the "first t years " one and it died on me twice . I use my medalia every day a few times a day and no problem at all. I also bought it used and just bought new parts on amazon and bottles and saved myself a tun

I have an old Medela at the time it was the high end model the modern version of mine costs around 265ish. I recommend and this goes for what ever you end up buying to buy extra of everything that way when you're cleaning/ disinfecting the parts you don't have to miss a pumping and you'll have pieces in the future when you're model becomes out dated. I couldn't find hoses for mine and I only had one it took forever to pump then waiting for it to come in the mail was annoying!

Madela pump electric pump in style and the ameda electric are the ones I responded pretty good to. They are the ones that most women do.

On targets website it seems like they have 5 different kinds of that one style of pump

I used a Medela Pump in Style after my first. I liked it.
