Lansinoh Breast Pump Reviews

Pros: Easy to travel with
Cons: painful, uncomfortable, and hard to control
I received this as part of the hospital grade pump package that WIC rented to me. However, it was uncomfortable to use the hand pump and it is hard to control the force of the pumping. The electric pump was great but the hand pump needs work!

I love mine. I have used it to help get my supply up. I also have the Amenda and they are idetical other than the name and color. I keep them in different rooms. It is super easy to use, and to clean!

I'm a first-time mom and I really love this breast pump. Although this is the only one I've used, and I can't compare it to others, I find that it is easy to use and clean. My co-worker says that it is smaller and has fewer parts than the Medela pumps so. And what’s great is that I paid half the price you would for a Medela, which is usually around $300. I think every mom that is willing and able to pump milk for her baby can benefit from buying this pump.

I researched pumps for months before I decided on this one. This is the same exact pump as the ameda purely yours except that it is marketed under lansinoh and is purple (I even contacted lansinoh to verify this). The pump works great and is super easy to clean. The main reason why I decided on this pump was that it (and the ameda) are the only ones that are FDA approved b/c the milk never comes in contact with the tubing or the motor (as opposed to the medela pumps). The one drawback is that you will have to buy your own carrying case and cooler bag, but for the price, its worth the small expense those will cost you.

It is so difficult to shop for a breast pump. If you buy one, you are stuck with it. You can't return pumps ... not even to Target or Walmart. So, hopefully, this will be a helpful review.

I researched quite a bit before choosing this pump. For my needs, it works great. It is very quiet and very efficient. There are only a few parts, so cleaning and assembly is very easy. It is very simple - one dial for suction and one dial for speed. I have been using it semi-daily for a month now and have not had any difficulties.

It works on A/C adapter or on batteries. I am not a full-time pumper; I just use it once or twice a day to increase production and have a little milk stored for emergency or super-hungry-baby days.

It is quiet enough that I can pump on one side while nursing the baby on the other. I love that you don't need to clean the tubing ... all parts that come in contact with the milk are easily cleaned/sanitized.

Also, Avent makes a conversion kit (available on Breastpumps.com and at Babies R Us for about $10) so that you can pump directly into Avent bottles rather than transferring the milk into bags, etc. Works GREAT!

If you are totally new to pumps, here's my advice: skip the manual or single pumps. I had the Isis manual pump for my first baby and that was a complete waste of money. I would sit and pump for 20-30 minutes and could barely get two ounces. Electric pumps are so much more efficient. Spend the extra money and get a good pump. It helps increase your milk production and can help with sore nipples.
