I tell mothers that there are several reliable pumps available, and  
highlight the things they should look for.
I discuss pump cycling, the availability of replacement parts, the price  
points, why the mother needs (if she does) a pump, the advantages of manual  
expression - and the marketing behind the huge demand for pumps in our 
economy  (why there are so many unreliable pumps on the shelves/why she thinks 
she needs  a pump - esp if she is not returning to work). I do tell which 
companies are  Code violators and why that matters to me.
I try not to recommend at all, as it is not my job to sell any  
manufacturers pump for them. 
But, if cornered, I recommend Hygeia because they will buy it back, making  
a much better financial investment.

Subject: Which pumps DO you  recommend?

OK, that's all the information I need about Medela and  mold.  That is just 
gross and plain wrong. 

While we're on the  subject of pumps, which do you LIKE?  The Ameda Ultra 
Plus or  Simplesse?  I don't know much about Hygiea but would like to.  Is  
there a particular model that you recommend?  Pumps are so outrageously  
expensive that I would love to recommend a multi use model that is more bang for 
 the buck.  It would be great to have on on-line tutorial and virtual demo  
on pumps, don't you think? Thank you, Dana
