I have never had any problem seeing mothers maintain adequate supply, even those who exclusively pump, or pump for long periods of time for a baby in the NICU, with a Lactina. (I know people get very attached to pumps they prefer!) I usually order Classics only for moms who claim they "don't get enough milk from the Lactina" in my experience, these are *only* moms who used the Classic in the hospital. I know there is a lot of affection for the Classic among LCs. I like it, but have always found the Lactina adequate (and less expensive for my clients,) and have had no complaints from any mothers who use it as their first pump. (I feel I am expressing heresy here! LOL!) The research (I don't have the citation)seems to show the suction ppsi and cycle times are the very similar between the Classic and the Lactina. One of the hospitals I get referals from uses the Lactina almost exclusively and has reported no problems with supply mantainence. As far as I know the hospitals around here have not been using the Symphony yet. I am waiting for requests. (Also waiting for Classic enthusists responses....)
