And the Winner Is: Medela Sonata Smart Double Electric Breast Pump

No matter how you cut it, pumping is hard work. Support, lots of water and a really good breast pump are essential to reaching your breastfeeding goals. Medela aims to make your expression time as efficient as possible with their quietest pump yet. The double electric Sonata offers hospital-performance and portability thanks to a rechargeable battery. Its two-phase expression mimics baby, plus two different pumping rhythms allow you to find the cadence that works best for your body. Adjustable speeds and presets make it as easy as ever to achieve consistent results. The parts are simple to assemble and clean too. You can even connect with Smart Solution through the MyMedela app to track your pumping sessions and receive personalized tips from lactation specialists.
