Thank you DME and Ameda!
Submitted by: Toni R.

I am the lucky owner of an Ameda Purely Yours double electric breast pump and Breast Warmers. The pump was a lifesaver with both variable cycle speed and suction it helped a first time mum express engorged breasts with minimum fuss and time. I highly recommend the pump for many reasons; the various sized flanges available for the best fit (of which i have used two sizes over the last 5 months as my breasts changed greatly), portable (expressing in the car while on the way to a wedding was extremely useful!) low pump noise (middle of the night expressing) and easy to clean & sterilise (no tubing to clean).
The Breast warmers were also a great help in bringing the milk down before a feed to ease engorgement, and afterwards to help with the feeling of "frozen nipples" - my midwife was also very impressed.
The service DME provided was wonderful when I needed additional flanges for the pump urgently, they were supplied straight away. Thankyou very much!
 

Thanks so much for making my return to work just a little bit easier!
Really enjoying using the Ameda Purely Yours Double Electric - fast, efficient and stress free!

 

Great Product; Great Customer Service
Submitted by: Jessica

I got my Purely Yours before I had my first child, and of all the things I've used most in her first year of life, it's this product hands down. There wasn't a day I didn't use it! I successfully nursed my baby for a year with the help of my purely yours. It's small and so quiet, great suction, and had lots of extra parts in case of wear and tear...The customer service was more than I could expect, considering my pump was also an older version. I would not hesitate to recommend the Purely Yours and the Ameda website to other expecting mothers, especially since I had to use a Medela for a short amount of time between receiving my replacement base. (Medela was awful in comparison- harder to clean it and so very LOUD) Thanks Ameda, for your support for us nursing moms!!!


Couldn't do it Without Ameda!
Submitted by: Alley C.

On October 24th, my daughter will turn 1. On this day we will celebrate 365 days of life and 365 days of mother's milk courtesy of myself and Ameda. In the hospital, I was given an Ameda manual pump. At the time, it was a standard practice by the Lactation Consultant (standard practise in USA). Little did we know how handy that pump would become. My daughter was never able to latch-on. I used the manual pump for several days before renting a hospital grade Ameda pump. Finally, my Purely Yours Ameda pump arrived in the mail about three weeks after my daughter was born. I estimate that I have used my pump for roughly 900+ hours and 8000+ ounces of pumping. My daughter has never had formula. I thank you so much for your product and the amazing customer service I received when I did have problems with my pump. I couldn't have done this without you!


Ameda, how breast pumping should feel!
Submitted by: Cathi

With complications following his birth, my second son was unable to receive his primary feeding through exclusive breastfeeding. I was determined to provide him with mother's milk only and so discovered the option of exclusively pumping my milk for him. I set a short term goal of pumping for at least one year; but knew I ultimately wanted to pump for him for as long as I had nursed my first son - 2 1/2 years. Unfortunately, I knew nothing about Ameda's products when I first began exclusively pumping. I was immediately discouraged by how uncomfortable it was to pump regardless of the variety of pumps and accessories I tried. Other pumps I have used, with an inferior design, have caused chronic nipple trauma and pain while pumping, have easily tipped and spilled large amounts of milk, have introduced moisture and mould into the tubing, have decreased my milk production, or have been so difficult to assemble/dissemble that I have been ready to abandon my goals and throw in the towel on pumping.

Thankfully, I was introduced to Ameda's product line. After months of suffering, suddenly pumping was comfortable and even convenient. The Elite hospital grade pump is so gentle, adjustable and quiet that I actually enjoy pumping. My milk supply bounced back within a week. The Purely Yours personal pump is so convenient - the attractive backpack, the triple power choices (batteries, car adapter, and AC adapter) and the small size make it a breeze to use in almost any setting - I have pumped as a passenger in cars and airplanes, at a hospital, in restaurants, in doctor's offices, and even at a Children's museum while my sons played. Ameda helps normalize pumping so providing my son with the best possible nutrition is no longer a painful, unpleasant sacrifice - it's just a typical part of a typical day. And paired with a hot drink and a compelling book to read, pumping can be a part of my day that I actually look forward to. A moment to relax while I'm also doing something so precious for my son - who could ask for more? Continuing to pump until my son is 2 1/2 years old (about 9 months away) - no problem! I highly recommend the Ameda pumps and accessories to my fellow pumping moms and all my friends.


Awesome Pump!
Submitted on amazon.com

I've been using this pump for two months and I really like it.  My baby won't pull enough milk from me so I have to pump six times a day, so I've really used it a lot and had no problems.  The main reason I like it is you don't have to worry about sterilizing the tubing.  Because of the way it's desigend, no milk can get into the tubing.  This makes it a lot easier to upkeep.


Custom Breast Flanges - they are worth the investment
Submitted on amazon.com

This product really helped out with engorgement - especially because I was unable to breast feed right away due to our child having to go back to hospital at 3 days old for a week - right when my milk came in.  The horns themselves are not larger - but the "tube" where your nipples go into is larger.  I would recommend this for larger breasted women/larger nipples.


Milk Freezer Bags - No Leaks!
Submitted on amazon.com

My hospital nurse gave me these to use after having my son and I've continued to use them.  I haven't, after three weeks, experienced any problems pumping directly into these bags or freezing them.  I haven't had leaks and they thaw out very easily.  I put them in a ziploc bag to freeze them just to add an extra layer of protection.  I do wish they came in bigger quantities and were a bit cheaper.  But, I wouldn't consider using any other bag after reading the horror stories of other bags.
