Regarding the pumps, PIS has better suction than freestyle. This is what the medela people told me. But it is very bulky to carry round. Freestyle is more lightlight and easy to carry around.
Personally i already have 2 pumps, a PIS & medela swing. However my swing is a single pump. That's why i thought of buyng the freestyle. PIS is a very gd pump, it has very good suction, just that it is very bulky to carry ard.
Fyi, Medela is partici[pating in the parenthood fair in Nov. So I'm going there to take a look.
