MedelaPump in Style Plug-in Breast Pump, Wearable in-Bra Collection Cups, Easy to Clean, Hospital Performance Breastpump

This breast pump has been amazing and a huge lifesaver with my supply. It’s very easy to use, the parts are so easy to clean unlike some of the other brands this one only has 3 parts to clean which makes a huge difference when you have to clean them as often as every three hours. This has been a game changer for me, I’m so glad I made the purchase.

I love this pump. I used the previous version of the Medela pump in style and the Spectra S2 as my primary pumps after my first child and this pump is just as effective for me! I get similar output across all three pumps, but I love the hands free parts for this updated pump. I don’t have to consider which bra I’m putting on in the morning because it’ll work with any and it’s really easy to wash and dry! My only complaint is that the battery pack doesn’t work. I put new batteries in, but it stops after a few minutes. It’s the same problem I had with the battery pack with the previous pump in style. It’s not hugely problematic since the plug and cord is plenty long, but would be nice to have in case!I also got Medelas pumping bra with this and LOVE it. It’s the most comfortable pumping bra I’ve ever owned and is super supportive. The fabric is so soft! Overall, I really like this product.

I was going through mastitis terribly and my pump I got through insurance did not help. Shape was round and very uncomfortable. Also did not empty my breasts properly. Not to mention the suction pattern did not help for me( motif portable pump) this pump immediately upon using it felt much better with the silicone suction flanges and got way more milk out MUCH faster. Pumping was a very long process from start to finish for me. Now it’s actually within the recommended time of 15-20 min ( I was not experiencing that before) even with my over supply of milk. I’m very grateful this product exists and it is well worth the investment. Super satisfied. The noise is a bit loud and it would be nice to have an LED screen that has a flashlight for night pumping and time tracking ( when you’re a zombie in the middle of those night feedings) but the product works very well. I did have to purchase separate flanges because I am a 27mm so I bought 2 sets. Also bought rechargeable batteries for the mobile option; it only gives you a few uses out of the (8) double A batteries required. I’d rather save money long term since I plan to breastfeed for at least a year. Has been working great, no motor malfunctions or glitches. So much easier to clean than other pumps I’ve had & Medela is so good about having all the products needed from expelling all the way through to baby’s feed. Love!

When I got pregnant, my insurance at the time offered a portable pump (Freemie) and I selected it not realizing that it wasn’t really the best fit for a standalone pump for every day use. I was lucky enough to be able to borrow a Spectra from a cousin, and around 6 months into breastfeeding, I had to return the Spectra because she needed it again.Knowing I was gonna make a big investment, and I had just accepted a new job that would take me out of the house, I was willing to spend a decent amount of money to get a pump that could travel with me.I was convinced by my aunt who was a Medela rep back in the 90s that this was the only way to go if I had to buy my own pump. I combed through reviews, and selected this Pump in Style model.Up to this point, I was mainly pumping to feed my daughter so it was a lot of trust to put into this machine. When it arrived, I was impressed by the sleek style. It is compact, the stock flanges fit me great, and the machine was not a complete atrocity to look at.The pump has an automatic setting when you turn it on that mimics your babe; it pumps lower suction at a fast rate, and then a few moments later (post let-down) it slows down, again, mimicking what our babes do. I like this function, it worked well for me, it pumped a comparable amount (if not slightly more) than my spectra. It is a little louder than other machines, but nothing too crazy. The parts of the pump (the overflow protector etc) were a little difficult to take a part and put together, and unlike my spectra, the flange unit all put together is too heavy and cannot be put down on a table to rest without an inconvenient base attachment which made it difficult to juggle pump parts and try to store my milk at the same time (I.e definitely not ideal for moms on the go).I treated this pump and the pump parts exactly as I treated all my other pumps and pump parts. The pump was stored in my pumping cart and I pulled apart and washed everything separate and let them air dry. Day 1.5 of having this pump, I put all the parts together after they sat on the rack drying from the last pump session (~3 hours), and sit down for a pump session only for the tubes to suck in some water and the pump to make an audible slurping sound & stop. The pump was fried. I was so confused. I contacted Medela and the agent was incredibly friendly and next-day delivered me a new pump. As many of you know, that means I had to use my freemie/hand express/etc while my babe was in daycare and of course it led to a clogged duct which then led to mastitis.New pump arrives, i sanitize everything and get ready to test it’s travel-ability. Now that I was aware that the pump was sensitive, I took extra care to dry all the parts before putting it all together. I brought this pump in an American Airlines flight from FL to California and pumped in my seat. The small device went unnoticed my my neighbors and I was satisfied. The last day of my trip to California, I sit down for a pump session before heading back to the airport and the same water suction thing happened again. This is now a less than 5 day old replacement pump. The parts of my pump were completely wiped dry which leads me to think that somehow my milk got into the tubing…This tells me that these pumps are NOT closed system and the overflow protector doesn’t work well, so buyer beware. I am so disappointed in the quality of the pump, the overflow protector that failed in me twice, and the fact that neither brand new pump lasted longer than 5 days… I didn’t bother asking for another replacement. Now I have two broken medela units sitting in my house collecting dust because I was never sent a return label (any help, Medela?) .Long story short, disappointed. The over complicated overflow protector makes it so water/milk gets stuck and destroys your pump. I also must imagine that means it’s vest hard to actually sanitize. Don’t waste your money.. my crappy freemie is still going strong
