Ameda Breast Pump - Reviews
and Replacement Parts
Ameda is one of the largest and most
trusted manufacturers of breast pumps and breast-feeding accessories. They offer
a wide variety of products for new mothers and those with many children. They
also offer tons of accessories, information, and tips for breast-feeding
mothers.
If you are looking for an Ameda
breast pump, the best place to go is to their website. There, you will find a
useful tool that helps you pick which breast pump is right for you. Before using
this tool, brainstorm a little bit yourself. Think about what your breast
feeding goals are. Do you need to use a pump because you’re a working mother and
aren’t at home all day to breast feed? Do you need to use it because you or your
child has a problem with traditional breast feeding? Do you want to buy or rent
and what can you afford? These are all important questions.
The first question the Ameda tool
will ask you is if you are a new mom, pregnant mother, or the friend or family
member of a new mother. Click on the option that best describes you. If you
choose “new mom,” the next option will ask you if you are currently breast
feeding or not.
Other questions the tool will ask include:
• How often do you plan on pumping?
Daily? Occasionally?
• Do you have a full milk supply?
• Are you planning to breast pump
before your baby is born? (for pregnant mothers)
Answer the questions honestly and Ameda will suggest some products that suit
your needs. They offer manual and electric pumps, as well as hospital-grade
pumps for mothers who need them. The following is a list of their products:
• Purely Yours electric breast pump
– this is a double pump that can suction milk from both breasts at once.
• Purely Yours breast pump with
backpack – this comes with a backpack designed with cooling components for milk
storage.
• Purely Yours breast pump with
carry all – this comes with a tote bag rather than a backpack.
• Purely Yours Ultra – this has a
carry tote with adjustable flanges for breast comfort.
• Elite electric breast pump – this
is a hospital-grade pump.
• One-Hand breast pump – this is
Ameda’s manual pump for mothers who only need to pump occasionally.
Ameda offers many accessories to make these pumps comfortable to use.
Accessories include:
• Comfortgel Pads – these pads provide soothing relief to sore nipples after
pumping.
• Reusable nursing pads – these line
the bra to prevent unwanted leakage.
• Mother’s Milk freezer bags – if
you need to freeze milk before using it, then these freezer bags will do the
trick.
• Nipple shields and breast shields
– these tools attach to the nipples and breasts to help with nipple relief. The
nipple shields can also encourage bottle-fed babies to breast feed again.
