Buy Medela,
This review is from: Playtex Embrace Double Automatic Breastpump (Baby Product)
I purchased the Playtex Embrace because I thought it looked like a more comfortable pump. I returned to work and within a week of pumping with the Embrace, my milk supply began to decrease. I also has blisters from the breast shield. I went to a breastfeeding support group at my local hospital and the lactation consultant suggested I go buy a Medela. I purchased the Medela and within a few days, my supply had increased. My baby is now 5 months old and still nursing, thanks to the Medela. Bottom line, go with what has been around and proven for longer....Medela. There are also so many more options with Medela that Playtex does not offer. I had to get larger breast shield cones, but they were stocked at Babies R Us. If you are thinking about The Playtex Embrace, I would advise you to consider Medela. They were the same price at Babies R us....Playtex is cheaper at Amazon, but you get what you pay for. I am not one for promoting someone's products, but this is something very important. Best of luck!

Good Pump for working mom,
This review is from: Playtex Embrace Double Automatic Breastpump (Baby Product)
I am fortunate that I have a Medela pump that I use at home and the Playtex that I use at work. I actually seem to have better luck with the Playtex than the Medela. Pumping is not painful and I can actually talk on the phone and the other person can't hear what I am doing. I have been working and pumping for about a month now and see no decrease in my milk production. I would definitely recommend this pump to anyone looking for one.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Playtex Embrace Double Automatic Breastpump (Baby Product)
I've been back at work for right at a month and using it twice a day, 5 days a week at least. I get from 8-12 oz. in a 20 min. session. Up until this last week I've only used the lowest 2 suction settings, I've recently gone up to the 3rd one sometimes. I'm not sure if it's lost that much suction or my body is just adapting to it.
It's very comfortable to use, I really like the soft flanges and the pumping action. I can pump directly into any of my wide mouth or narrow mouth bottles (even if they aren't playtex), though I use bags to freeze milk. It does have a couple quirks. If there is any moisture at all as you assemble the collectors, they don't seal and you get an annoying whistle. This hasn't seemed to affect the amount of suction much and it still seems to preform just fine, it's just annoying. It is supposed to remember the last settinig if you leave it plugged in and mine often does not. It tends to reset itself on the next session if you leave it plugged in. (You turn it on and nothing happens for about 30 seconds, then the lights blink and it returns to the lowest settings and you have to press power again to make it start) I would reccomend it to anyone needing to pump daily, especially if they have had bad experiences with other pumps being uncomfortable in the past.
