While I'm thinking about breast pumps, I just wanted to know if anyone has tried the Ameda Elite breast pump, with or without the Flexshield Areola stimulators? If so, how did it work for you in your induced lactation/relactation efforts?

On its highest speed is very slow compared to the Medela pumps. Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5!
