I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good breast pump for a full time working mom. I can't afford the high piced Medeals and other couple hundred dollar pumps. Has anyone had any experience with the Playtex or Evenflo pumps? I plan on breastfeeding for the first year so renting one really isn't an option. Any suggestions will be ppreciated, THANKS!

I have a medela pump instyle advanced and it is wonderful. It comes in a shoulder bag for easy transporting. Go to worldwidesurgical.com and you'll save a lot of money.

pregnantjackie, can you tell me how much your pump was from that site? They don't have the prices posted. I tried to email then and ask the price, but it locked up my whole internet application. I guess I'll have to call.

I bought a Medela PIS from someone on craigslist. I got lucky and bought one off a mom who lives very close to me. She just had a baby herself and thought she would breastfeed but it turned out she left the hospital formula feeding. My pump was brand new as the mom never used it, in fact it is still under warranty, I paid $100.00. You can buy a used pump and just get new parts at Babies R us or order them online. I really have not heard great things about the playtex pump and the nickname for the evenflo is the evilflow because it is supposed to be very painful.

I don't know when you will need a pump...but my bfing days are just about up. I have about two more weeks of attempting this and then it's curtains on boob milk for me. My pump is one of those $$$ medela PIS things...I can easily sell it to you for cheap if you are interested. I will check back on this thread during the week to see if you are.
