While I'm thinking about breast pumps, I just wanted to know if anyone has tried the Ameda Elite breast pump, with or without the Flexshield Areola stimulators? If so, how did it work for you in your induced lactation/relactation efforts? Copy Link to Clipboard

On its highest speed is very slow compared to the Medela pumps. Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5! Raising 2 grandbabies, as infants they were raised on donor breast milk

Lalle extra helpful experienced member Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 1,785 Idaho	Oh thanks for clearing that up Nona. I used a Lactina and did not like it at all. I went with the PIS from Medela. Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)
