The leading breast pump brands are:

Medela breastpumps ( Pump In Style )

Ameda Purely Yours
Whittlestone breast expresser
Whisperwear

These pumps are usually under 1 year or less warranty (the exception being the Whittlestone). Iff you use the pump multiple times every day, chances are the life span will be about 1 to 1 1/2 years. After one year, the unit often seems to fall apart: vacuum is not proper, motor is slow, etc.

Our best choice is the Ameda Purely Yours. Its FDA approved pump kit provides your baby with the purest breast milk with no contamination whatsoever. It's a moe convenient pump overall. Please read this article comparing the Ameda Purely Yours and the Medela Pump In Style if you want further comaprision info.

As mentioned above - the Whittlestone Breast expresser comes with a three year warranty. It's a sturdy-built machine that will last for several babies. Our clients and testers always agree that this pump is excellent. If you've never heard of these pumps before, we encourage you to check them out. The reason why they are not as popular is that they are new and have not been able to gain a good share of the breastfeeding supply market. However, they clearly have revolutionary technology.

Late 2003, Medela introduced the Natural Expression pumping philosophy, which is another breakthrough technology. It is the two-phased pattern of pumping that imitate the baby's nursing patterns of fast, fluttery suckling first to stimulate milk ejection reflex, then long, deep drawing suckling to express milk after.

This pumping pattern is incorporated in 3 classes: hospital grade (Symphony), the personal grade (Pump In style Advanced) and the manual pumps (Harmony).

If you consider purchasing the Advanced over the other Pump In Style models, please read our latest report regarding this new pump.

We believe that the Ameda Purely Yours gives you the most bangs for your buck. It's unique pump kit prevent millk contact with any environmental elements such as bacteria, viruses. It's also much more convenient and economical.

Iif you wish to look at other options, try to stay with companies who have their interest in nursing mothers' success. And this means buying from companies who make breast pumps that work and support, not discourage breastfeeding. Steer away from breast pumps that are made by formula companies.
