The popular Medela Pump In Style Advanced Breast Pump has been recently discontinued in Australia. This powerful double pump has been a favourite with working mums for a number of years, with a handy backpack designed to easily transport the pump motor and components. However size does matter and many mums are now choosing the Medela Freestyle Breast Pump with it's tiny hand-held motor. The Freestyle also comes with additional features including a rechargeable long-life battery, hands-free kit and digital display (including the ability to program your preferred pumping cycle). Another alternative is the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump, an excellent double pump with the benefit of two controls instead of one. This allows you to control both pumping speed and suction strength separately, instead of just one control which increases both at the same time. Ameda pumps also include the HygieniKit Milk Collection Kit, a patented system which prevents contaminants coming into contact with breastmilk.
