New Pump Not Working as Well

Hi Moms, I was using the Ameda Purely Yours double electric pump for three weeks and was able to get an average of 2-3 ounces from each side everytime I pumped (2-3 times a day)...and then, I just bought the Medela Pump in Style Advanced last week (no returns or refunds too) and I think my milk supply is not the same....it varies greatly...some mornings I can get around 8-9 ounces (both sides combined in about 20 mins) and about 4-5 oz later on in the day and some times I can barely get an ounce and a half...like this morning..it is very...

To Breastfeeding Moms

I have two sons that I chose to use formula with, I'm at peace with that choice. I'm very uncomfortable, however, about doing any breastfeeding in public.

What Do You Really Need for an Infant?

So it's been 8 years since I last had a baby to care for. I am expecting again and am at a loss for what I really need and trying to prioritize. I have looked at many registries and think they include a lot of frivolous items (wipe warmers ect) So if you could go back in time and know then what you know now, what are your must have items. When I say I have nothing I mean not one baby item at all. I know I'll need a crib, clothes, ect. I also plan on breastfeeding, so I will need a pump for when I return to work and there are so many to...

Ameda vs Medela Pump

I bought the Ameda pump and have only been able to pump a maximum of 1.5 oz with it, regardless of when I pump. I'm wondering if the Medela Pump N Style would pump more milk? Has anyone tried both pumps and noticed a difference in output?
