Medela Freestyle Hands-Free Breast Pump
Cost: Very Expensive ($349.99 at drugstore.com)
Just the facts: Includes breast pump, accessories for attaching the pump to your bra, 4 5-oz. containers, power cords, and tote.
Worth noting: All the bells and whistles are included in the newest (and priciest) pump on the market - hooks to attach the pump to your bra; a super lightweight and compact motor that clips to you; a rechargeable battery with three hours of juice and customizable two-phase expression capability.
What the experts say: So new to the market, expert opinions aren't out, however Consumer Reports and Baby Bargains (7th edition) both agree that Medela's line of pumps are among the best.
User raves: The Freestyle wins kudos for power and portability, with one mom claiming she was able to bathe her 2-year-old while pumping. Moms also like the little extras, like the LCD timer built into the display.
User rants: While most users loved the hands-free kit, some found it didn't work easily with every nursing bra, while others advised not to pay extra for the Freestyle if you're only interested in it for the hands-free option, since you can purchase a hands-free bra that works with any model of pump.
