Here are a few reviews
from moms (mostly Medela Pump In Style models)
Why Breast Milk is the best?
• A quick list of the benefits
of breast milk
What is the Medela Natural Expression system?
• The
Dual phased pumping philosophy (Natural Expression) which
Medela introduced to the market a year ago (found in in the
hospital grade Medela
Symphony breast pump) was indeed a significant innovation
to the industry. The Symphony has proven that it is the best
electric pump currently available.
Medela
then incorporated this new technology into the Pump In Style
series- its most popular personal electric pump - and also
in the manual pump Harmony.
The
Medela Pump In Style Advanced came out August 2003 and it
took the market by storm. All nursing moms who purchased this
model thought they got the best posible pump for the money.
However, what we experienced was many pumps were returned
due to being defective.
Herbs that can help increase your milk supply
• There are many herbs
that can help increase your milk supply - especially when
coupled with a good pump. I personally used Chamomile.

Proposed Performance Standard for Breast Pumps
Representative Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.,
has proposed an Amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964
to protect breastfeeding by new mothers and to establish a performance
standard for breast pumps. Hurray! It is about time something
is done to protect the mothers who put so much into the future
of this country.

Here is a short article on the benefits
of breast feeding. While they don't mention Medela breast
pumps (or any name brands specifically) they do point out
that breast pumps are needed by many mothers.

Preparation is key for breastfeeding and work
• Breast feeding or using a breast
pump can be difficult to do at work. Here
are some ideas for preparation.. 9/25/2004
Medela, a leading manufacturer of breast
pumps, will have even stronger competition in the near future.
Whittlestone, which makes the unique expression nursing pump,
has a new pump in the last stages of testing. It will combine
their expresser technology with a more powerful pumping action
which should make them the fastest to acheive let-down.
At this time, Ameda and Whittlestone are
the best alternatives to the Medela breast pump. Ameda, in
our opinion, is actually a better breast pump that the Medela.
Just the fact that Ameda does not allow milk or bacteria to
back up into the tubes or pump ( Medela does not have an FDA
approved method of preventing this on their Pump In Style
models) gives them our vote.
