Those who have been nursing and received a pump from their insurance companies my sister just sent me this article about the Medela PISA.

I could totally see this! We had the hospital grade pump the first few weeks and then when we turned that back in I tried the one I got from insurance and felt like it had next to NO suction and I certainly got way less milk. I gave up the ghost on my milk ever coming in shortly after that. I just kind of figured it was so different feeling because of the difference between hospital and well Free...I'm sure there was some merit to that idea as well but this makes some sense too.

Is it actually about the PISA or model 57038 or MY57038?

Edit: should have refreshed before asking my question

Interesting. I just confirmed that mine is a PISA. I used the hospital grade pump for 3 days while in the hospital and noticed zero difference between that and my PISA.

Same!

Wow! Mine is a double... I was having quite a bit of trouble in the beginning... I ended up buying a used Symphony (still $500 ?), because I was desperate. I have much better results since then. I still use the double every evening (symphony stays at work). I feel like I have to have it up to a painful level to get anywhere near a normal pumping session.

Edit: lol... Because it really isn't a pimping session.

bookninja LT for pimping session. I've been laughing for a full minute.
Worst pimp session ever.

Maybe this is why pumping was so hard for me! I gave up though instead of trying a different pump.
