Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump with Carryall

Product Review (submitted on March 11, 2010):

The Ameda Purely Yours Carryall is the best pump I have personally used.

I have tried multiple pumps, both in the hospital, and since I have been home with my son.

This has worked the best.

While in the hospital, I used a Medela Symphony, which worked alright, but I would never spend that much on a breast pump, and renting one just doesn't seem practical. I also used a manual pump in the hospital, which was an Avent. It did work, but was not very efficient for daily use.

When I first got home with my son, I was using a Medela Pump in Style that was given to me second hand by a friend. I replaced the milk collection kit, but I stopped using it when I found out about the possibility of milk contamination. Apparently replacing the kit doesn't prevent milk contamination, because air gets into the pump still. After realizing that, I decided to try the Ameda Purely Yours Carryall. It was one of the only pumps I found that had the closed system, and was still affordable. Turns out it works great.

Very good suction, totally adjustable, and easy to use & clean.

I would recommend this pump to anyone looking for an inexpensive pump with a closed system.
