Ameda Purely Yours Double Electric Breast Pump Review

• The adjustable speed and suction are one of this pump’s selling points. It gives mothers more options when they are pumping, which may help them find a less painful and more successful way to express their milk. Some mothers may find that the slower speed draws out more milk and is less painful too.
• This pump is portable and lightweight, meaning you can take it with you on a trip or to work without any fuss.
• The dual hygiene-kit milk collection system helps give you peace of mind. This kit can take some of the panic out of whether your unit is storing breast milk in a sanitary fashion. The last thing you want to do as a mother is to give your child tainted breast milk.
• The unit comes with a carry-all tote that can help you transport your baby’s milk.
• The kit doesn’t contain BPA or DEHP. Many moms are familiar with BPA, but DEHP is another compound moms might want to avoid.
• Because it is a double pump, you can pump both breasts at the same time, or just do one at a time. Moms are always in search of time-saving tips, and pumping both breasts at once will save a few minutes off each pumping session.

• For an electric pump, this one is a solid choice for the money.

• The suction doesn’t seem to be as strong on this unit as it is on many other electrical pumps, especially after long-term use. The pumping suction doesn’t always seem uniform between both sides – one side can sometimes seem to pump more strongly than the other. Keep tinkering with the speed and suction settings to find the correct setting for you.

• Moms who are worried about emergencies should feel fully prepared with this breast pump.
  This is because it can be operated with an outlet, batteries or even a car charger. All three methods are simple to use. Plus, because the unit is so lightweight, it is a cinch to carry it out to the car in case of emergency.
• There are no intimidating buttons or strange-looking parts on this pump. It’s easy to figure out how to operate and simple to clean. When you are a new mom, the last thing you want to do is spend extra time trying to take apart all the pieces of a machine so you can be sure it is thoroughly cleaned. With this one, you may be able to get a catnap instead of wasting your time with a complicated cleaning process.
• It fits any standard-sized bottles. That means if you have already purchased your bottles, but you are still stumped when it comes to selecting a breast pump, you can still consider this unit.

Philips AVENT Double

Women who have had bad past pumping experiences may want to check out the Philips AVENT pump which is gentler on the breasts than some other brands.

Freemie Freedom

Moms who want to keep their hands free to pay bills, talk on the phone or flip through a magazine may want to consider buying the Freemie Freedom. This pump uses concealable breast milk containers that can fit inside bras.

Lansinoh Double Electric

Moms who hate to clean tubing on breast pumps might like the Lansinoh breast pump. It uses a closed system that won’t allow milk to leak into the tubing.

Moms who want to avoid longer pumping sessions may prefer the more aggressive suction of the Pump In Style. It can express milk in mere minutes.

Spectra S2

Moms who want a pump that is so quiet they’ll forget it is on – other than the constant squeezing of their breasts, of course ­– might want to consider the Spectra S2.

For the price, Ameda Purely Yours offers moms a hygienic way to pump their breast milk. That’s important because keeping our babies safe is our number one priority as moms.

The pump is light, portable, easy to clean and it comes with the carry-all tote that will keep all the pieces together.

• Portable and lightweight

The Ameda Mya Joy pump is simple to figure out how to operate. Although it comes with instructions, you shouldn’t have any trouble figuring out which parts go where.

The built-in bottle holders are a great feature because the bottles used with some pumps are easy to tip over and spill. There’s nothing more frustrating than going through the time, expense and trouble of pumping, and watching all your hard work vanish right before your eyes when your collection bottle accidentally gets knocked over.

Although this pump is a little loud so it might not be a great option for pumping breast milk at work, it is super portable.

Because it is so lightweight and easy to pack up, it’s a good option for taking with you on vacations or weekend getaways.

If you choose to pump at work and you don’t like to draw attention to yourself, you might want to invest in the car adapter. That way, you can express without having the telltale noise of the pump let everyone know what you are doing.

The system employs a silicone diaphragm which stops milk from flowing into the pump’s tubing. That means there is less chance your milk will become contaminated during future pumping sessions.

The HygieniKit has been approved by the FDA as a way to keep breast milk separated from outside air. It has Proven Airlock Protection to keep your breast milk safe and untainted.

The closed system is a big perk because it amps up the safety of your breast milk for your baby. Plus, it makes cleaning the pump easier because fewer parts touch your breast milk – unlike some other pumps where milk sometimes flows back into the tubing. Less cleaning time makes for a happier mom.

Medela Pump In Style

If you plan to be pumping for a long time to come, you might like that this pump doesn’t seem to lose suction over time.

Spectra S2

If you want to pump milk at work and on the go, you may prefer the S2 because it is quieter.

Freemie Freedom

If you need to pump at work or in public, you might like the fact that this pump allows you to express milk while fully clothed.

First Years Quiet Expressions

If you are looking for something cheaper, this pump is a good choice.

Double electric breast pumps that provide enough suction to get the job done can be expensive. If you don’t have enough suction while breastfeeding, you won’t express as much milk and it might eventually cause you to kick breastfeeding to the curb.

The Ameda MYA Joy Double Electric Breast Pump offers the suction you need at a middle-of-the-road price.

The closed system ensures you won’t spend all your free moments during the day taking your breast pump apart and cleaning it.

As a nursing mom, it’s a good idea to have more than one breast pump if you can manage it. You might need to pump in different locations or if one pump is either broken or being cleaned. It’s always a great idea to have a backup.

The Ameda Purely Yours Ultra is not a hospital-grade pump, it’s actually designed for personal use. It’s got features that are similar to those of a hospital-grade pump like a closed system, adjustable suction levels, and double pumping capability.

It’s designed to last for a long time as long as you use it with proper care and perform regular maintenance. You should replace the pump’s motor after about 1,500 hours of use, which is roughly the same as six months of pumping four times a day.

An open-system breast pump doesn’t have a barrier between the milk collection kit and the pump motor, so the milk particles can potentially reach the motor and cause unwanted contamination.

But a closed system breast pump does have a barrier between the milk collection area and the motor, which will prevent milk particles from reaching the motor and makes it more hygienic.

Specifically, the Ameda Purely Yours Ultra breast pump is a closed-system breast pump, in case you were wondering.

Yes, breast pumps can lose their suction over time if they’re not cleaned properly or if the parts are worn out.

The Ameda Purely Yours Ultra is designed with a motor that is supposed to maintain its suction strength over time. But it’s still important to regularly clean and replace the parts to keep it in good condition.
