pumps. Are there any good ones in the
< $200 range?

Yea, i'm getting mines from .Target and
it's the one where it's electric and you
can personalize it to your own speed for
comfort....And it's only like 50-60
bucks!!

Well since shes in the nicu youll be
pumping a lot so the 50-60 dollar ones
normally say for occasional use. Plus
they are mostly one pump 2 would make your
like easier with all the pumping I saw one
at babies r us for 199.99 but somewhere
like target or online might have the same
thing for cheaper since babies r us is so
expensive

nope mine had two pumps..One for the right
and one for the left...Mine says nothing
about occasional pumping...I just read all
the books ..To make sure..But anyways I
guess I got lucky on finding one
cheap...Lol

The avent one is like 150.00 for the
eletric one and like 50 for the manual
one. I will be using the avent feeding
system,
but I really haven't been thru this yet so
I dont' know...Just kinda hoping it does
work.

I dont know about you but sometimes
hospitals let you rent pumps(they have
been fully steriliezed) and usually their
double pumps less time pumping. I used
avent feeding system(manual) and it was a
pain in the @ss but look around if the
hospital doesnt rent they can proballu
give info on who does(ask a lactation
specialist.) its cheaper than buying it
if you can rent well depends if its not go
to wallmart pick up a pump for about 150$
when ur done with it have it steriliezed
and resell it to consignment store.

After doing a little research, I purchased
a ameda purely yours for $149. It's a
little high, but I will be using it so
much.

I just bought the avent manual one....
It works well... Kindda....... At first
I was expecting to pump out like a full 7
oz bottle... But instead, after 30 min of
pumping... I only got about 2 oz...
It's very frustrating and tiring. I
always see babies having a full bottle to
feed off of... I am scared that I too
will ahve to pump that much when baby's
older~
