Hi Moms. Have any of you used the Avent iQ duo electric breast pump? If so, please let me know your opinions. Does it come with a battery pack or bag? I don't necessarily NEED those things, but just curious. I cannot afford the Medela pump, and we have Avent bottle that we used with our first and plan on using with our second (who is coming soon - yah!) Anyway, I have read multiple reviews online from those who used this pump and they are generally positive, but I thought I'd ask the opinions of my fellow Mamapedia moms :) Looking for info on comfort, suction, quality, worth the money, etc... and if anyone has a comparison to Medela - that's awesome too. Thanks in advance!!
I don't have the electric one, but the manual, since I am a SAHM. I use it a few times a week. I actually like it more than the medela pump. But again, I'm speaking manual. If you are going to be working you'll probably want an electric.
I haven't tried it but its top on my list of pumps as well. Just FYI if your not anti Walmart like some of the ladies they have it at a way better price then babiesrus...it's like 178$
haven't tried that one... but you can find barely-gently used pumps on craigslist and ebay for a really affordable price.
I haven't used it, so I can't comment on the Avent pump.
Our Medela was covered by insurance. We paid a co-pay of $25. We did this through our hospital, but perhaps you could go through the doctor's office as well. Just thought I'd let you know that may be an option.
Congrats on the new baby!
