If you have ever had a baby, then the world Medela should be in constant rotation in your vocabulary.¬† The leader in breastfeeding products and accessories, the company focuses on making quality and long lasting products to help moms deliver the healthiest meals to their babies.¬† While the art of breastfeeding seems like it’s just ‘plug and play’, believe me, it’s not [they don't call it an art for nothing].¬† Luckily, Medela’s products are easy to use by helping moms to successfully breastfeed their babies and to do so for as long as they choose.
Medela was gracious enough to send me one of their Pump In Style Advanced breast pumps [otherwise known as a PNSA] which comes in two different options; either the Shoulder Bag, or the Backpack. While I used both with Sevyn, who just turned three, my good friend just had a baby, so I had her try it out for a couple of weeks to see how it was.
Review
As a first time mom, Sarah had no idea what to expect.   After working with a lactation counselor, she learned how to get her little one to latch and was eventually ready to return back to work and start pumping [note: you should wait a couple of weeks after birth to do so].  The Medela PSNA system was a perfect fit for her, since her job is fast paced and she is always on the go.  It comes with a bag that is easy to disguise [who wants to be seen toting around a breast pump in the office or the mall?], including everything you need to not only pump, but store as well.   The system itself is easy to put together, and is ready to go in as little as 30 seconds.  It comes with two BPA free bottles to screw onto the tubes, which in turn connect to the pump itself.  After the initial let down period, the pump can be adjusted to a comfortable pressure and should be finished within 10-15 minutes [dependent on your flow].  After you are through pumping, you can store the milk in the collapsible ice chest inside of the bag for a couple of hours.

I like the name and it was on our list. My husband really wanted a name that had his initials so we needed a J, and it was the only J name we both liked.. JAYDEN

I'd love to win this for my friend who is having her second baby girl (the first one was born 12 years ago, so things have changed). Even though my husband and I don't have kids of our own yet, we have already picked out the names, boy = aden raleigh, girl = winter aurora. We heard the name Aden being called out by a mom when we were on vacation and like it, Raleigh is my husband's middle name and was my husband's grandfathers name. We love to read to each other. One of the books I picked for my husband to read to me was about a girl named Winter (love the uniqueness), and Aurora is Sleeping Beauty's real name in the Disney cartoon.

Five generations of first born daughters in my family were all named Susan. When my daughter was born, I am sorry I did not want to continue with the tradition… But I did tie in with the tradition.. I named her Lily (Susan means Lily) so she is kind of named Susan too
My girls have family names. Middle names of their Grandmas.
I'm following you on GFC.

Hello!!!
Well I named my kids after almost everyone in my family, starting with Jael, He’s after me and his JoSue father. Jayden is after me, my husband and sister Denise. Then comes Jandelyer his after me my husband and sister and after his two brothers and my rest in peace father nelson. I hope this helps cause I really need a good pump and honestly cannot afford it.
