Breast pumps And bottles. Help please!

do any of you know the good breastpumps to buy? I'm really dedicating myself to be able to breast feed my daughter but when I had my son 3 years ago I had a medula pump and it sucked! Would pump for an hour and get nothing! Also, I just registered for the dr brown bottles. Any other suggestions??

Have you checked with your insurance to see what kind of pump they will cover? I use Avent bottles

I recommend using ameda hand pump. I used it n u can fill a bottle in just a few minutes. So easy. Doesn't hurt. Very fast. Great suction.

I had a hard time too. Its hard because every pump has good and bad reviews. But i think a lot of times when people complain about "lack of suction" or something it may be that they arent using it properly, like most electric pumps have adjustable suction control. I got an evenflo one, i got an evenflo one. I got a great deal on it from Targets website. It came with a double electric pump, came with a carry bag, and cooler. Its really hard to choose

I use a hand pump,  its avent it works great for me .. u can go at your own pace if your nipples are sore .. so i love it!! And for bottles i like playtex drop in liner bottles. No mess so easy to clean. I heard the dr. Browns are a pain to clean. I was going to use those but then i heard that and was like oh no i can't be wasting my time trying to clean them.
