[blparent] breast pump recommendations please?

[Angie Matney]

Hi Tammy,

I haven't used the pump yet, but I opted for the Purely Yours Ultra, partly 
because it has a closed system. This means that milk cannot come into 
contact with the motor at all. This is not the case with the Medela 
consumer-grade pumps. I read a review from someone who took her Medela apart 
and found mold on the motor, and that clenched it for me. I'm sure this is a 
very, very rare issue. But I decided I'd at least try the Ameda, since I 
know I will not have that problem. You also don't have to clean the tubing 
on the Ameda pump after each use--again, because milk can't enter it.

Having said all that, I'm very interested to hear what others have to say 
about these different pumps. I would definitely like to know if others have 
tried both and found one to be far superior.

Angie
