Congratulations Kristen! Check your inbox to find out how to claim your prize. If you have ever heard anything about breastfeeding you have probably heard about Medela Breast Pumps as they are probably the most trusted front runner in the production of pumps.

Though not every new mom will need a breast pump for long-term use, just about everyone will need one at some point in their nursing endeavor. Medela has been named the #1 choice by both hospitals and moms, proving just how wonderful their product is.

Breast pumps allow you to still provide the great breastmilk to your child, even if you must return to work after that six week maternity leave. When researching the right pump for your needs, there are some key features: Mobility, Affordabilty, Comfort and Sound.

Pump In Style^® Advanced – On-the-go Tote

Pump In Style Advanced is a daily use breastpump designed for moms who pump several times a day.  All Pump In Style Advanced breastpumps offer portable convenience for quiet, discreet pumping anywhere.

What is 2-Phase Expression® technology?
Through research, Medela learned that there are two distinct phases of how babies breastfeed.  The Stimulation Phase is fast and light sucking to start milk flowing followed by the Expression Phase, slow and stronger sucking to deliver more milk faster.  Pump In Style Advanced breastpumps have exclusive 2-Phase Expression technology that mimics a baby’s natural nursing pattern.

Here’s What I Think:

I am a stay-at-home mom and have the luxury of directly nursing my babies, but I still have much need for a quality breast pump. In the early stages of nursing, engorgement in a huge issue for me and having a pump on hand can be a lifesaver. Using a pump to relieve the pressure of overfilled breasts is something any nursing mom will proclaim as NECESSARY!

Another reason to have a quality pump is for those rare evenings when you have a sitter and you want to have some grown up time with hubby. Being able to pump a bottle or two for the sitter is a great asset. My very favorite feature of this breast pump is the fact that it is truly quiet! Often times you have to relieve the pressure of engorgement at 3am and turning on a device that sounds like a jet engine is just not a good plan.

The first time I used this pump, it didn’t even wake up my husband – who was sleeping two inches from the tote. I also really like the new tote design. Essentially all of the  parts to the pump (including the cooler) fit into the bottom half of the tote, leaving plenty of room for your own items to go on top. This makes it possible discreetly carry the pump to work with you without having to carry several different bags. The bag is also stylish, for the fashion conscience mamas!
