I like the big Ameda Eggnells best for accurate pumping, when complete
production has to be built up. They are much stronger and do a better job in
ritmic sucktion cycles. And the new ones aren't that ugly and moisy anymore :-).
The one I used with my firstborn 19 years ago made me feel like a cow. Still, it
did work!
