My Experience with this pump...
My Experience with this pump (as a first time mom)...<br />1. The noise level is actually pretty good compared to other pumps, a few people I pumped around were surprised to know that I was pumping under my cover instead of breastfeeding.<br /><br />2. Its not the most friendly to clean either. it has too many pieces and I almost lost a some a few times but the plus side to this is that it has the silicone breast pieces which feel a lot better than most other pumps, especially if you have sensitive breasts.<br /><br />3. But the part that is the worst about this pump (in my experience) is its lifespan. the suction on the pump was great at first but I discovered quickly (less than 2 months of owning it) that it started to lose pressure fast. one side almost lost its suction altogether. not sure if it is just the pump i got. I also had a theory that that is was you get when you buy a pump that doesn't plug into the wall but charges - they are bound to lose pressure/suction over time. As a first time mom, this frustrated me because I thought I wasn't producing enough for my baby.<br /><br />Overall, I'm giving it more than one star because it did have nice features about it (easy to take places/pump anywhere) but if I could do it over from the beginning, I wouldn't have even put it on my registry.
