Thanks girls. I did quite a bit or research overnight while DD2 was feeding and I think it's probably a good idea to fork out the extra for the Freestyle. I can get it for $520 from my mums work so that's pretty good
Is it sad that I'm excited about this?? There is something so satisfying about pumping a decent bottle of EBM!
I feel the same way Taurean... I was so sad when DS weaned at 8 months, and once the sucking stopped, it didn't seem to matter how much I expressed, my milk supply decreased.
I loved seeing all that milk squirt out into the bottle... at my peak I was getting 200mL from ONE boob! Also, I'm planning to express so that DS can have some breast milk once a day (can't hurt right?), so I wanted something that was going to get as close as possible to suckling and get as much milk out as possible. I plan to go back to work at 4 months, so i needed something portable. The good thing is that my friend got 6 months use out of it as well so it doesn't seem like a huge amount of money wasted..
Will keep you posted with how I get on with the pump after JuneBug arrives
I loved my freestyle but for me it was the portability and size of it which isn't as important to you. Although you never know when you need to do other stuff away from your home.
