We rarely even mention the term breast pumps at the family's dining table, but actually we should. A lot of the women I know have taken to feeding formula to their kids instead of breast milk because breast pumps can be painful. I'll tell you a little story - I was pregnant with my first born and had major problems with my breast pump. It worked terribly for me, but since I don't like to criticise, I will not mention its name.

But the fact that I discovered a great working breast pump eventually is the real good part of this story. I bought the Medela Breast Pump from Amazon's website, though I later realized that elsewhere it is even cheaper than $300. The first noticeable feature of the Medela pump is its design, which seems to have been done unusually thoughtfully. Whether you're used to using a bag or not, Medela breast pumps come in quite a range, most of which are in 3 different bag styles.
For me the backpack was ideal especially since we go out walking a lot, but others may want to pick one from the alternate styles they offer. The large variety of breast pumps out there was confusing me, but its online reviews I chanced upon while researching for pumps, affirmed that it should be the pump to try.
Even the reviews for the top-of-the-line pumps were not as great as that of medela breast pump. The features to particularly look out for, when deciding on a breast pump are:

1. Price - you should be able to buy a great electronic breast pump at $300, but if that is beyond what you can afford, a manual pump would be an option. 1. Although, searching through discount sales may just turn up an electronic pump within the budget.

2. Material quality - Since a breast pump is meant to be a one-time investment, it is important to research which pump would be durable. Online reviews could be very helpful in establishing that.
3. User-friendly - Using a breast pump can be challenging, so it is important to choose one that will simplify the task of pumping milk.

My experience with Medela breast pump has been so great that it inspired me to set up a blog to share my knowledge of this pump which can really make the entire task so much easier. You're welcome to check out my blog and email me if you have anything I could answer.
