Excellent kit!
I had problems to nurse my baby during the first days because I didn't have enough milk and I had to complement her feeding with formula. So I rented a Medela breast pump from my local hospital to keep my milk production and ordering the double pumping kit I reduced the pumping time in 50%. Excellent option for moms that want to breastfeed the baby and need to use the bottle at the same time."

Lactina kit, indespensible
I've exclusively breastfed by pumping for over a year now using the Medela Lactina. The product advertised here is the kit only, NOT the breastpump. That means the white and yellow pieces are included, not the big blue box - the pump is much more expensive. It can be rented from your hospital or purchased for about $800. The kits however do eventually wear out, especially if it gets used as much as mine has the gaskets in the piston wear out and the tubing gets tattered. Getting an average of about 4 hrs/day usage for over a year I've worn out one piston and have the second broken in but lots of life left in it. It's nice to be able to replace it all to keep it working the best you can. If you use a Pump in Style this includes the Personal Fit connectors, tubing, shields, valves, membrane and bottles, plus an extra piston you won't need to use. You can use the piston like a manual pump but it's very difficult to hold the attachments to yourself and work the piston at the same time. It may be cheaper to buy a kit than each of these pieces separately if you want an extra set.

unreasonable return policy and misleading advertisement picture
The picture is misleading - the system DOES NOT include the electric mechanism for the pump which is featured prominently on the photo. I ended up buying two of the same manual item, because I already had the pump and just needed the electric motor. Returning the item was not allowed because of its 'personal nature'; however, this restriction only applies to opened boxes, and mine was unopened, and the factory seal was intact, making the product returnable elsewhere. Here
I had to take the matter up with my credit card company. 100% unreturnable items are not a good option online, especially when there is a discrepancy between what is advertised and what you get, because you might be stuck with a product you did not intend to buy.
