Double Breast Pump Suggestions and Does Any One Have One to Sell
I just got through taking a breastfeeding class and decided i should own my own pump instead of renting from babies r us. N e suggestions on which one to get. Medela seems to be the most known but not sure about spending the money, which brings me to my next question, does n e one have a pump that they r willing to sell?? And how much does a used one usually cost?

So What Happened?™
Thanks so much for yor responses. i really love this website, i had no idea how many and how fast i would receive the great advice. i am going to wait until the baby is born to purchase the pump. sounds like i need to make sure that i am going to be able to produce milk first before i make such a purchase. i will be sure to purchase a medela used from one of u ladies. thanks a bunch!

I have an older Medela Pump N Style that works great that I am selling for $75. It works great, I just don't have a need for it anymore.

I have a Medela double breast pump with a "let down" button. I bought it at Babies R Us for $350.00 and it was worth every penny. I'll sell you mine for $175.00.

Rent one from the hospital or a lactation consultant for the 1st two weeks, it's reasonable! Make sure breast feeding is going to work for you before committing that much money on something that may end up collecting dust instead. That said, loved my Medela, it was around 220.00 on-line if you can't find one for sale from someone search on-line instead of just going to Babies R Us or Target to purchase it.

Hi C.!
I'd definitely get a Medela one! I purchased the Medela swing single pump, and it worked great for me. I borrowed my friend's Medela double pump when I went back to work because it was a lot faster, but it's quite a bit more expensive.

I recommend the Medela Pump In Style. Its expensive but definitely worth it if you are committed to breastfeeding. When considering the price, think of how much money you will save by nursing v. formula feeding and that might make you more comfortable in spending the money on a good pump. I sold mine on craigslist so hopefully you can find one on there or maybe ebay. I think you need to make sure that you are committed to nursing though first. Sometimes first time moms need the pumps in the beginning too in order to make their milk come in faster after the baby is born. If you are going to nurse for 6 months or longer then a pump definitely is financially feasible considering the savings of not buying formula. Good luck!

I agree with the previous post about waiting until you know for sure breastfeeding is going to work for you and baby. I am glad that I gave it a good try, but in hindsight wish I hadn't spent over $300 on a pump that I used for 2 weeks. I have the Medela Pump In Style Metro Double Pump w/ the letdown feature. I'd be glad to sell it to you for $150 whenever you are ready!
Good luck to you and congratulations!!!!

Good morning,
Congrats on the little bun! I recommend all Medela products. There pumps and accesories are the best! I bought the Medela Pump In Style Advance Metro Double Pump. I bought it from the hospital store for about $280. It's wonderful! I would sell you mine, but you never know if you will have another one. You can also rent them from the hospitals, be sure and ask them. Good luck, L.!
