Saves you in a pinch!
I purchased this pump on recommendation from a friend. I WAH (work at home) so didn't believe I would need one of the large, bulky electric model pumps that most working moms need. Unfortunately, my son had some health issues and had to be re-admitted to the hospital two days after his release. Imagine my dismay when I found I would have to pump for every meal! The hospital loaned me a double pump (Medela model). I was able to get one ounce from BOTH sides during a pump with the electric model. At the same time, I was experiencing excruciating pain as well as cracking/bleeding. The electric pump was too strong and yet wasn't pulling the milk correctly. I sent my husband home to get me my Isis. It was the best decision I made the entire time we were at the hospital. I was pumping 2-4 ounces per breast every two hours for the remainder of my time at the hospital, and the nipple shield on the Isis did not further inflame the scabs I had from the electric pump. In fact, I believe I healed very normally in spite of having to continue to pump. This pump, if you need a pump, is the best investment you can make.
