Ameda. If you order online, you will save money versus buying locally.

If you need something more affordable, Lansinoh has a good electric out. I found (through many conversations with other moms and professionals) that if your boobies have not been spoiled by a fancy medical grade pump, you could get away with using a "cheap" less attractive pump and be totally content, not even knowing what you were missing.
I tried using a manual pump, my hands got so tired and nipples were so chapped, the second we went out and got that cheap evenflo single electric pump, I was in heaven! And that one was a real hunk of junk...I didn't even notice til I went and got my double pump by Lansinoh.
Good luck on your shopping!

great! thanks for your help. I have been thinking of Medela and Avent. But with all the thoughts you gave in, I think I will be going with Medela.

Thanks very much :D

I had to pump for 4 months with my first, 2 1/2 of which were straight pumping b4 I could start B/F. I have the Medela double breast pump and it's still working almost 4 years later. I have to use it with my second as well. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has to pump 50% of the time or more. Seeing that they had a Medela in the NICU where both my two have been in, I would say it's a trusted product. Just remember to invest in a sterilizer too!

The best one for me is the Medela pump. It was the highly recommended one by the lactation nurse that coach me when I gave birth to my daughter.

Medela and Ameda make the highest quality pumps. I believe that they are both available world-wide.
