Request for thoughts on choosing a hospital-grade pump

[@llli*melissamdavis]

I wanted those of you in this community if you have any thoughts on how to select a hospital-grade pump without being able to try them out first. I realize they may work differently for different people, but I'd love to hear any tips or experiences, especially about any of the following:

Ameda Elite Electric

Medela Lactina

Ameda Platinum

Medela Symphony

Are there any of these you have seen or heard to be especially helpful for maximizing supply? Do you have any tips for a novice on how to select one between these?

Thanks so much for any thoughts!

I used a Lactina and it worked really well. I wonder if there's a big difference between the hospital-grade pumps- I think they're all pretty good, YK?

Are you thinking of buying one, or renting one? And what has got you to this point of needing one? If you let us know, maybe we can help!

I've only used the Symphony but it is good.

I love the Symphony. It was the only one available at my hospital but it's awesome. I've used it for almost 9 months now.

I also use the Symphony, I love it & have been using it at home for over 6 months!!
