I am surprised to hear people having issues with the Ameda pumps. I have been selling & renting them for years and never had any issues with them. Both the Purely Yours & the Elites (I also have a couple of the Lact-Es). I have never had any moms loose a supply or not have it build up a supply. I have had many moms prefer them over medela's pumps because they can control suction & speed separately and the flanges run a bit bigger in each of the sizes. Intersting to see all the variations in mom's experiences with different pumps. I am really enjoying this thread.
