Has anyone hired a hospital grade double breast pump before? Is this possible? Did your midwife arrange it or the hospital or did you privately hire it? Also any brand recommendations? Roughly how much did it cost you?
Thanks.

Hi, I hired the Medela Symphony pump from birthcare in Parnell, it cost about $100 once of for the pump parts (horns, membrane, tubes and bottles) which you keep and another $100 or so per month for the pump (sorry cant remember the exact amount). My midwife phoned birthcare for me to find out if they had one available but I am sure you can phone them yourself. Babycity and www.breastmates.co.nz also hires out this pump but they are more expensive than birthcare. It is a good pump, I used it for one month to exclusively pump for and then I bought a Unimom Forte pump (also a hospital grade pump but very cheap) from www.expressthebest.co.nz as renting was too expensive. I am still exclusively pumping (3 months now).

I looked into hiring a double pump through the NICU at National Womans in Auckland - even though my son was not a NICU baby, that's just who rented them there.

I hired mine from the chemist (I am in Christchurch though) I think it cost me about $200 all up for around 2 months...it was $75 a month plus the lactation set I needed to purchase. Awesome breast pump - did the trick!
