Looking for a Medela Pump in Style & a My Breast Friend Pillow--anyone???

I'm expecting in late October, & plan to breastfeed. I BF for 7 months with my daughter, & rented a pump from the hospital the whole time. For the money we ended up paying, I could've had a really nice pump of my own. So now I'm looking for a nice double electric pump, since I'll be pumping at work, and can't afford to buy one brand-new. I've tried EBay, but just get frustrated with all the bidding. If anyone has a nice pump at home they don't use anymore, I'd love to buy it off you. I think breastfeeding's incredibly important--I'm actually working toward becoming a lactation consultant. I want to make sure I have all the breastfeeding supplies I'll need, but I don't have the finances to back me up. :) Please let me know if you can help--Thanks!

What can I do next?

I don't know who could offer you one, but you could become a member of freecycle and could get one for free easily at the following group,

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elgin-Freecycle/

This group is for Elgin, but every town (almost) has their own yahoo group, so you could try if your town has theirs.

Hope this helps.

I just met with Lisy from Mamasource who posted her business. I think what you are looking for and what you want to become are right up her alley. She is a great lady and may provide you with a wealth of other information, plus she has classes as well. Tell her K. sent you!

I have the Medela pump-in-style 2007 model that I was gonna sell on eBay. I used it for a month and couldn't breastfeed anymore so I went to formula. It is practically new since I may have used it only a handful of times. Call me and I can let it go for $125 for a Mamasource mom that I don't need to ship it to. e-mail me, ____@____.com and I live in Morton Grove.

if you're still looking, i have both the pillow and a nice medela pump-in-style traveler i no longer need. ____@____.com (take out the spaces).

D.:

The pump n style is a single user pump/ check what is on the medela site about this pump.

The hollister/ameda pump is much less expensive and equally as good... it can also be bought without its bag.

Look at the Blessed Nest pillow or egg..(blessednest.com)

I'm pretty sure I saw a PIS on craigslist for $100 this week. You can buy all your own tubing and accessories for it.
