I will be a STM in April and would love to breastfeed not only for the benefits of the breastmilk but because of the cost of formula. With LO 1 I breastfeed for about two months with very little success pumping. I had a Medela pump in style (I think) and would get maybe two oz an hour. I started suplementing formula and then went back to work full time and had to go to formula the entire time.
So, I am looking at pumps again because I got rid of my first one to pay for formula. I considered renting and have inquired at the hospital I work at. Its roughly 60$ month which to me is not worth it, I would rather purchase. I am going to call insurance in the next week to see what they cover on a rental (cross my fingers) but I saw the Swing Pump Medela in our hospital baby store. I have read the reviews and am wondering if anyone had any thoughts about this pump. It's half the price of the others, smaller and more convenient for my work schedule. I work 3 days a week, 8 hour shifts.
