Ok - you've talked me into it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll try and purchase a Limerick pump...

But - I just need to add this to avoid others being scared - I am an HIV/AIDS Policy Advisor for the government and HIV does NOT survive nor reproduce outside the body so it would be impossible to contract HIV due to breastmilk residue on a pump. If anyone wants research to back this up just pm me...however, other bacteria I am not aware of - so point taken - I'll save my pennies and see what I can do...thanks for all the very helpful info.

If you haven't used it you could return it I think. If not you can sell it on Ebay.

Wow, is it that much better? Is there a picture of one anywhere, or more info that I could look at? Can you give me some idea about how it differs from the Medela? Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I really like the Limerick. When I was using the Medela I was getting real sore with the Limerick I do not get any sores.

I have now looked into the Limerick and the problem is that it does not come with battery pack - I will be travelling for a month or so with mine and will need the battery pack. they sell it seperately, but that adds another $75 to the price.
