Medela Symphony Plus Breast Pump, Hospital Grade Breastpump, Single or Double Electric Pumping, with Initiate and Maintain Programs for Breastfeeding Support or Exclusive Pumping

We bought this after using a Philips Avent pump for a little while and running a bit short on milk in hopes of it improving the pumping volumes. It did but not to the extent that some reviewers have said when comparing it with the lower grade Medelas. Instead the biggest advantage of using the Symphony pump it that it is quiet and more comfortable. The whole system also has less parts and is less fidgety so if you plan to pump a lot getting it instead of the Philips might make sense if saving some time cleaning it is worth the extra money. The pump comes without any of the necessary accessories so you will need to buy a pumping starter kit.

This is my everyday pump and it works beautifully. It fully empties my breasts with a little help from my hands for the armpit areas. I have very large and dense breasts and I am an oversupplier and this pump works better than a few others I’ve tried. I use the Medela freestyle flex when I’m not at home and it does a good job but the symphony is top tier.

I tried using other pumps with my first three children and I was sadly one of those mom's who struggled to produce enough milk. I went dry after two to three months while pumping with the less than powerful pumps. This hospital grade pump was the only one that ever helped me because of its power. It has different pumping intervals that also help you to produce more milk so when my 4th and 5th child came along I broke down and bought this pump. It was amazing and helped me to go a full year feeding my last two children. I would recommend this pump to anyone.

Excellent!

This pump is awesome! After burning thru two of the pumpin style advance pumps (diaphragm, and motor) I purchased this. All the parts are fixable unlike the other pumps. The pump in style is more for the part-time pumper who's baby latches without problem. If your baby is like mine that have been tounge tied, or just lazy latcher...this pump will keep your supply up and is less noisey than the pump in style. This is a closed system pump unlike the pump in style. The symphony is so silent my husband even asked if it was working. LOVE THIS PUMP & should have purchased earlier.
