Medela Double Select Breast Pump

I used this pump for two kids and it started to loose suction by the end of breastfeeding the second one. I now have a third and have been very frustrated with the half suction and how long it was taking to pump. I was about to go buy a new pump when I called Medela. They told me a SUPER EASY and FAST way to fix the suction. Now I have 100% suction and it is working great again. They said I got milk in the motor. They told me to fill a cup with warm water and put the end of one tube in it (tube is also connected to base--the other tube entrance to base is closed).

With my son he didn't breast feed, so I was determined to have my daughter do it. After about a week of on the actual breast I started using the Double Select Breast Pump and WOW was I impressed. It helped increase my milk supply and it is so easy to use. With the optional electric powered or battery powered you can take it anywhere. I could not be happier with this product, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality breast pump.

I originally bought a Gerber single electric pump and it left my nipples very sore and enlarged. I had heard that the Medela pumps were highly recommended, so I took a chance and paid $130.00 for it. I've been using it for about four months now and couldn't be happier. I'm completely satisfied with this pump and would recommend it to anyone. I haven't had any problems with it. I've also found that if you clean it out after every use and clear the tubes once a week, you won't loose any type of suction. So if you're breastfeeding, take a chance on this breast pump!
