Finding the right breast pump for you and your baby can be a long and laborious decision. Factors such as manual vs. electric, single vs. double, closed vs. open system, size, weight, bag design, etc. all come into play. There are tons of options out there and Amazon has two great (but totally different) choices on sale - the Ameda Purely Yours and the Medela Swing.
The
Ameda Purely Yours would be a good choice for a mom who needs to pump regularly, and often away from home. It operates on AC power, batteries, or a car charger, meaning you can take it just about anywhere you need. While the Ameda Purely Yours generally retails for $275, it is currently on sale at Amazon for $184, 33% off the regular price.
Another great pump, the
Medela Swing, is currently 17% off for $125. This is an easily portable single pump which is great for quick sessions and moms who don't need to pump quite as often. This is the only single pump which uses Medela's well renowned two-phase expression technology, providing a faster and more efficient letdown. The Swing is also 100% BPA-free and includes the SoftFit breast shield for comfort.

My Ameda Purely Yours endured very well in my year of pumping. I liked the pump itself a lot - and it is lighter than the Medela pump in styles. I do hope they come out with BPA free pumping kits though, and change their collection/storage bottles to something without BPA.
