RIP, breast pump

[Deleted]

My PISA just died and because it is over a year old, Medela won't replace it. I was thinking about weaning next month but haven't even begun transitioning to formula. WWYD, MMM? Should I rent a hospital grade pump to lug around? My insurance will only pay for a manual.

I have 2. If I can find a box big enough for it tonight, want one of them? Just pay shipping.

how set were you on weaning next month?

honestly, the cost of renting would probably outweigh the cost of formula-or be very close... so i'd go with the cheaper option. i would NOT want to lug around a rental.

That would be awesome, CB! Thanks

I keep going back and forth. The fact that DH's entire family had the flu this week is making me reconsider weaning, honestly.

Provided you've had your flu shot I'd take CB up on her offer and pump!

I also have an Ameda, if anybody wants to borrow, let me know.
