breastpump loan or hire?

[BumblBeee]

Is it possible to borrow a high quality machine anywhere?

With DD now 2 I had no luck with pumping on an ordinary Mini Medela. Need to hopefully sort this out to return to work....

Any advice gratefully received xxN

Have seen that hiring is expensive. Is the quality worth spending the extra money vs buying something like the lactaline or other?

Ask the health visitors in your area - I was given a double electric one for as long as I needed it. The health visitors said they have a few to loan to keep up breastfeeding in the area (am in Scotland though)

Oh great suggestion - thanks xx

Also wondering which hire machines are the best?

And if you need to hire them for the whole six months or just until you have established a milk supply? Having said that my milk supply seemed to drop last time at about 4 months..
