Rent or Buy Breastpump?

Several factors can influence whether or not you may need to rent or buy a breast pump. Economics play a significant role as well as efficiency/need.
If you are separated from your newborn due to illness or other reason, you may need to rent a breastpump to establish your milk supply.

If you look at it from a purely economical standpoint this is how I put it:
First answer this question, "How long do you plan on pumping and providing expressed breastmilk?"
If your answer is 3 months or less then renting will prove to be more economical.
If your answer is 4 months or longer then buying a double electric pump will prove to be more economical.

***based on a rental fee of $75/month plus a starter kit of $55 OR a purchase cost of $300.

PLEASE dont fret over the cost of a breast pump, remember formula costs an average of $200 per MONTH. Pump for 2 months and you make money on the cost of a $300 pump!

Remember, I only recommend 3 brands of breastpumps.

find a local rental station or retail store for AMEDA breastpumps.

find a local rental station or retail store for Lansinoh breastpumps.

find a local rental station or retail store for MEDELA breastpumps.
