Breast pump rental is becoming a very popular option for mothers today! With more and more mothers heading back to the workplace shortly after giving birth, pumping is a necessary process undertaken by most. Having an adequate supply of breast milk that others can help feed to your baby is the ideal scenario for moms, and achieving this is usually only possible by frequent, effective breast pumping.

Renting breast pumps is a good idea because:

  • You won’t have the initial expense of buying a pricey pump that you’ll only use for a few months of your baby’s life.
  • The quality you’ll get will usually be better than the ones you find in stores for individual use.
  • They are usually rented with warranty, so you won’t have to worry about buying one back if the one you rented doesn’t work.
  • The ones available for rent are usually effective at relieving engorgement.

To rent breast pump, you could first make contact with your local hospital. Hospitals usually have them available for mothers who have to leave their newborns hospitalized due to early birth or birth conditions. Some hospitals make the most of their investment by offering their breast pumps for rent.

Another option for renting breast pumps is identifying a company that sells or rents hospital supplies. These places often have breast pumps in their inventory that are of the same effectiveness as hospital grade pumps.

In most cases, mothers who want to pump both breasts have to purchase a sanitary double pump kit. Once connected to the hospital-quality breast pump, both breasts will be emptied in 10-15 minutes. That makes it very easy to get enough breast milk into storage so your baby will never run out, even if you’re away.

Companies and hospitals usually rent breast pumps for $60 to $80 per month. As months are increased incrementally, the rental cost per month becomes more attractive. Rental for three months runs between $135 and $195, while a five-month rental could cost between $200 and $300. Of course, the costs vary based on the brand of pump you rent and its effectiveness.

If you’re considering how best to make breast milk available for your baby, you should give some more thought to renting a breast pump. You’ll be able to get more than enough milk by using the hospital grade models available for rent, and your baby will never be out of nutritious breast milk!
