Medela PIS or Freestyle??
I need to order a breast pump today....has anyone tried both the PIS and the Freestyle?
I used the freestyle for #1 and #2 and was happy with it overall but I see it gets a lot of complaints about the suction online. I don't really remember that being issue but I also never tried the PIS (or any other pump) so I can't really compare. Any thoughts?

Re: Medela PIS or Freestyle??
I also have a Ameda Purely Yours that I got in 2011 & used once if you are interested in that.
How time flies! Caileigh (9), Keira (6) & Eamon (3)
I'd never go back to the PIS. The Freestyle was much, much better. I was able to pump hands free in my office, it was much lighter and just all around easier to use.
I wasn't going to get a new pump this time, but my doc encouraged me to because insurance will cover it. So, I did. The Freestyle would have been a $150 upgrade, but the PIS was free, and since I still have the Freestyle I got the PIS. I figured I could take it to work and leave it there, since I am stationary at my desk anyway. I haven't used it yet, but I do know it needs to be plugged in.
Have you checked to see if your insurance will cover either of them?
FWIW - I couldn't ever get the "hands free" option for the Freestyle to work very well for me. I got a cheap front-close sports bra and cut a small hole in each side. Then I put the cone (flange? I am blanking on technical terms due to lack of sleep...) on the inside and the rest on the the outside and could pump hands free. Not very different than the bras they sell, but much cheaper!
