Editorial Review
Breastfeeding mothers, especially those who need a night off or who work outside the home, know how essential and personal a breast pump can be. Like most breast pumps, this Medela model mimics a nursing baby's sucking motion, and it comes with numerous attachments that make it easy to transfer a mother's milk into a standard baby bottle. Because of its compact size, the pump is discreet and highly portable. It comes with a companion transformer, so it can be plugged into an electrical outlet, or it can be powered with two AA batteries. --Hannah Reynolds

 Not a good buy! November 20, 2008
Sabrina M. Weizer (Miami, FL)
I purchased this produce and the device started to fail just a few months after the purchase. The device was used maybe a few times per month so it wasn't overused. I called Madela and I was able to get it working again through troubleshooting the problem. I used it a few times after that and then maybe 4 months later I needed to use it again and could not. I called Madela to trouble shoot and the woman told me that after the 1st troubleshoot call the motor started breaking down because of the method of troubleshooting so now that the warranty is up (6 months) all they could do was offer me a 20% discount from what they charge which would make the purchase price the same as buying it on Amazon.com. The person who initially did the troubleshooting should have told me about the motor so I could get another pump within my warranty. Now, I have to spend money on another pump. This product is unreliable and the company has terrible customer service. DO NOT BUY IT!
 Easy to use, easy to clean October 6, 2008

This breast pump is easy to use. I use it occasionally when I need relief when my son is full but my breasts are not empty or when I know that I need to leave milk for a sitter. I use it with the Playtex breast milk storage system. I love both products! I like the fact that you can adjust the suction to fit your comfort level. It is easy to clean as well.
Practical, convenient, and good price point August 15, 2008

I use this pump with my first daughter, now 5 and I am now using it with my newborn. I use this pump daily at least once a day, sometimes two. It takes me about 10 minutes per breast and get 4 - 5 ounces. I have tried another brand manual pump (takes too long) and electric pump. I always came back to this one. For a few dollars more, go with this one. You will not be dissapointed. It is great for work. It is small enough to put in a fashionable lunch box, practical, the price point is great.
 great for occasional pumping!! May 9, 2008
Kim Bizub (Gulf Coast)
I bought this pump about 6 weeks after my baby was born. I'd been using the manual pump and it was just too much work for an already tired and busy mom! This pump is much easier to use and much faster too. I reccomend this pump for stay at home moms that need stored milk for night out with dad...or any other reason that baby will have to stay with a sitter! This pump is great for on the go too. The night I had out with my hubby I actually brought the pump with me and pumped around the time I would have been feeding my little one right there in the car! I've never had a problem not being able to get much out, I think the amount you are able to pump has to do with the woman, not the pump because I have a friend who has the symphony pump and can only get 1-2 oz from BOTH breasts! There is a down side though; it is a bit noisy and takes some getting used to! I had my baby sleeping right next to me and it didnt disturb her one bit so I think its just annoying to the mom!!!
Good, Basic Pump April 1, 2008

This pump is practical and easy to use. I used it successfully for two pregnancies. The motor finally broke when I tried to make it work twice as hard for a set of twins.
Assembly is simple, you can adjust the suction strength to your own comfort levels, and I was able to get a minimum of four ounces per breast. For first time moms and moms who have previously be exposed to formula fed babies, keep in mind that breast fed babies eat less per feeding, but more frequently, so 3 ounces is fine! Also, you will need to condition yourself to "let down" when you pump. If you do not let down, you will only be able to pump the foremilk, and it will most likely hurt! I suggest pumping on one side while you nurse your baby on the other side, in this way you will experience a let down while pumping and get out that rich hindmilk, which is what keeps baby full and happy! Once you are conditioned you will be able to pump without baby's help.
Most problems many women have with pumps have to do with their comfort levels. If you can't relax you won't let down, and you can pump for all your worth, the milk won't come out. Baby gets milk out by massaging your breast and stimulating your nipple, inducing let down.
Basically what I am tring to say is that it isn't so much the PUMP as it is YOU. Relax!!! This pump works just fine.
I used it on a cross county driving trip when my daughter was 3 months old. I pumped milk from the front seat (buy the car adapter!) and passed the bottles back to my mom so we didn't have to pull over every 2 hours to nurse. It was great! I am a stay at home mom. I recommend this for the mom who wants to give the occasional bottle to her baby for convenience(no more than twice a day). It is not a workhorse. Meant for occasional, supplemental use.
