I have the Medela mini electric and it has been great, though as caliaandjack mentioned it is noisy. I got mine from a friend who used it 4-5 times per day for her two and I am using it 1-2 times per day. So for us it has been reliable and excellent value for money.]]> Sun, 01 May 2011 13:51:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1316037&title=best-breast-pump#1316037 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : Medela pumps are cheaper to buy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1316020&title=best-breast-pump#1316020 Author: caliandjack

Medela pumps are cheaper to buy from any of the online baby stores than BF or Baby City. I have the mini electric it does the job it is a bit noisy. ]]> Sun, 01 May 2011 13:17:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1316020&title=best-breast-pump#1316020 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : I have an avent manual you are...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1316009&title=best-breast-pump#1316009 Author: FionaO

I have an avent manual you are free to borrow - i never got on with the electric ones for some reason, it was the only one I had any success with.

I have a medela manual pump, which fits onto the Lactina electric bit they have at the hospital . Just bought the mini electric bit in preparation for number two. Haven't used anything else, so can't really make a comparison, but I found it really good & I had to pump A LOT. ]]> Sun, 01 May 2011 11:42:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1315989&title=best-breast-pump#1315989 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : when I got my swing, baby star...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1315720&title=best-breast-pump#1315720 Author: Emmi_

when I got my swing, baby star had it for 100$ cheaper than Baby factory (or anywhere else!). I had a 50$ voucher for babyfactory and they met baby stars price (so I got my 50$ off too!)so it was 200 something instead of 300 something...]]> Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:24:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1315720&title=best-breast-pump#1315720 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : Thanks guys - I have heard good...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1315704&title=best-breast-pump#1315704 Author: KiwiL

Thanks guys - I have heard good things about the Medela Swing, so maybe I will give that a go.

So expensive to buy though! And after having motor problems with my pump I am not so keen on buying second hand.

I used a Medela Symphony in the hospital, and have an Avent manual at home, and I prefer the Avent. I like the way that it's easy to adjust the suction, and the masssage cusion seems good.]]> Fri, 29 Apr 2011 15:52:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1315138&title=best-breast-pump#1315138 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : I like my medela swing.

I like my medela swing. Also have an Avent manual, but I find using that just torturous! In terms of electric - it has taken me far too long to realise that I can put batteries in the Swing, so I don't have to be at a power source to express. ]]> Fri, 29 Apr 2011 15:36:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1315125&title=best-breast-pump#1315125 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : I&#039;ve tried a medela harmony,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1314977&title=best-breast-pump#1314977 Author: Babykatnz

I've tried a medela harmony, mini electric and hospital grade pumps, and an avent manual, and as far as quantity goes, the avent manual has been the best for me, its got stronger suction , but being a hand pump means I can adjust suction without mucking around with buttons/dials, plus its portable and has the massaging cushion which I think helps get a little more out. On the other hand Medela is a lot gentler which is better for long-term or exclusive pumping as its not quite as harsh on the poor nipples!]]> Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:12:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1314977&title=best-breast-pump#1314977 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : Are you wanting another electric?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1314969&title=best-breast-pump#1314969 Author: ereynolds

Are you wanting another electric? I have a Medela Harmony which is a manual pump and I found it great. Soon after DS was born, I was pumping solidly and feeding only expressed milk and it was reliable, easy to use and didn't give me hand cramp! I have only used Medela pumps- a double electric in the hospital and my manual one at home, so cant give you any comparisons, but I hope its helped!]]> Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:04:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1314969&title=best-breast-pump#1314969 <![CDATA[Best Breast Pump : Anyone got any recommendations?

Anyone got any recommendations?

I am having trouble with my Avent Electric, and also had trouble with it last time round, so thinking of trying something new.

I pump once or twice a day, mostly to maintain supply for my fussy feeder.

Ideas appreciated!]]> Fri, 29 Apr 2011 10:51:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38962&PID=1314897&title=best-breast-pump#1314897
