gotta love a place where you can say "breast" and it is acceptable LOL

anyway...I am looking for a good automatic or electric breast pump. I remember having a pretty decent one when I had my daughter but can't for the life of me remember the brand of it...and that was 7 years ago.

anyway...any suggestions? I will get a manual one that I can travel with as well...but the power ones seem to get bad reviews :(

I am afraid I can't help Mandee as I have never used mine, Alex is on the bottle and he's been on it ever science he was born.

Your best bet is a hospital grade dual electric breast pump. I HIGHLY recommend the medela pumps. They're very effective! THey can get a bit on the pricey side but if oyu check ebay and craigslist (maybe even freecycle) you can find one for a great price. I actually got mine at a yardsale for $10 (these go for several hundred). All I needed to do was buy new tubing and breast shields :)
