I disagree with those saying that the Freestyle is an OK pump for working mothers. I see moms who are active duty in the military using this pump and wondering why their milk supply is tanking. I do NOT recommend this pump for working mothers, especially those with extensive separation (12+ hours a day). IMHO it is a lousy pump, period.
*Of course there are always a few outliers that do great with this pump, and for the occasional use in the field it works, but overall it really does NOTHING to maintain even a well-established milk supply. *
