Breastpump question!

I plan on breastfeeding and then pumping when I go back to work. Which Medela breastpump do you recommend and why- the Pump in Style or Freestyle? Thank you!!!

I have and used the freestyle for over 1 year to pump at work. It is extremely lightweight and easy to move around with. I know many people who used the pump in style as well. Don't think you can go wrong with either. The PIS is more bulky.

I have both and have only used the PIS once and hated it. I used the Freestyle for a year and loved it. So small and portable and easy to use. Plus the Freestyle has a timer and you can see what level you are pumping at (you can't on the PIS).

I have the pis and love it! I just went away and my friend let me borrow her freestyle. I loved that it was so small, light and portable but I didn't get as much milk. I put it all the way up and pumped until it automatically shut off (30 mins) and didn't get as much milk as I get with my pis for 20 mins (I got about 3oz less each session with the freestyle)

I think it all depends what your body gets used to
