    Wink Woohoo - I can't believe how good this is..........

    I recently bought a 2nd hand double electric pump - Ameda Purely Yours from a lovely bellybelly member

    It is AWESOME!!!!

    I express 4 times a day and since my electric tommee tippee broke about 3 months ago, I have been using an Avent manual pump for all of my expresses. I knew I was doing it the hard way but I didn't know how hard - the new double electric is SOOOOO fantastic. Not only am I getting more milk, but it is faster. I've been so worried that my supply was dropping and thought that it was all the expressing taking a toll. But I'm back with a vengance.

    Just a woohooo from me

    Woooo Hooooo

    You are doing a fabulous job hun, I am super impressed you did it with a manual hand pump for so long!

    I have the same pump and love it, and it has been well used, but not so much this bubba

    Hahahah - thanks everyone for your support and cowjokes - LOL I totally feel like a milking cow but am excited about it. Now I will have an opportunity to build up some of my freezer bottles again, which will give me a good excuse to eat the icecream in there to make space

    I had epic results with an electric compared to a manual. About double to be exact. My older sister took my advice and upgraded to electric too and noticed the same. During my 2 week stint with prem DD in hossie I would ask the midwives where the pump is and proudly say "going to go play dairy farmer now!" They thought i was nuts!

    Great news, I'm glad the new pump is making life easier for you. I drooled over double pumps, but my single electric one still got the job done.
