We got a tip from my coworker who had done this, but we waited to get our pump until we went to the hospital to deliver. While we were there, we asked the lactation consultant to give us a pump (the Medela Pump in Style) and put it in our records as a needed item. Our insurance company covered it along with all the other bills that were part of the delivery. Easy, easy!! Thank goodness for our pump. I wouldn't be able to breastfeed without it since I'm a working mom. Another tip (one I wished I'd used earlier!) is to get one of those bras that allows you to pump hands free. It helps me get more volume, and allows me to pump at my desk at work (I simply lock my classroom door and put up a do not enter sign during one of my prep breaks.)I even pump in the car during my commute while driving with the hands free bra!! (And hooter hider, of course, so no unsuspecting fellow drivers witness the pumping.)

 

Husband will take anything that is free, so I will not tell him about this.

 

Anyone hear of the pumpstation? I love that place, they have all sorts of products and stand by them. They test everytihng so they only sell what they think is good. it helped me alot.

This is really a great blog for moms and soon to be moms. I also use breast pump for my 3 y/o daughter. Being a working mom and a single parent it is not easy to do everything, when ever you don't have any companion on your side.

So my companion in life is my hands free breast pump. Getting one is surely wanted the most. I could give the nourishment that she wants coming from a mom's care.
