Seriously?
To answer the question that isn't really a question but a solicitation, put it up on eBay |
Is it wrong to sell a used breast pump? So i was looking on this sight thats like ebay but for my community and i have seen lots of breast pumps for sale that were obviously previously used. Me and a friend are supposed to throw a garage sale soon and i was wondering if i boiled mine and sterilized it because i barely used it, is it wrong to sell it? |
| i personally would not buy a used one ... |
Where can i buy relacement parts for my first years electric breast pump? i found a breast pump at a yard sale, the first years is the make of the pump and the model number is 1189 does anybody know where i can find replacement parts for this pump im getting very frustrated that i cant find anything for this pump on line. |
First Years doesn't sell replacement parts for their pumps. Basically since their pumps usually only have a 90 day warranty, the company doesn't intend on the user keeping the item for a long enough to need replacement parts. If you really need a part, you might consider calling their customer service line to see if it's possible to get any parts.
You're probably better off buying a new pump, plus it is a safer option. |
Is it ok to sell and would you buy a used breast pump at a garage sale? I asked this question before but its not getting many replies. I have a great Medina double, plug in, and battery pack, with carrying case and bottle holder, pump. Was used and in good shape. Dont want to throw it out. Now I know about health hazzards so I threw away ALL tubing and anything that came into contact with me. So the buyer would have to replace all that but thats not that much considering I payed over 200$ bucks for this one brand new. Is it tacky? would people buy it? |
| I bought mine off of ebay, so sure sell it make some money. Just use some bleach water to sanitize it. Most breast pumps do come apart somewhat and can be cleaned kinda. Get new tubing and wash the rest of the parts really well in very hot water. You can always post it on ebay, I got my Medela Pump in Style for only 60$, the tubing and new valves only cost a few extra bucks. I'm sure someone would buy it if not you can always put it on Craigslist. Good luck. |
Thinking about buying a used breast pump? I found a Melesa pump for sale. The mom says that she tried to use it a few times. BUt here milk never came in. SHe said she also try ed with another pump and still no milk or colostrum. I know they say never to buy used. WHat do you all think. IT 200 less than a new one. |
No milk or colostrum whatsoever crossed through any part of the machine? If that is the case, you should be fine (just replace any part she has tried to use). Otherwise, if it is an open system pump, you may not want to go that route (unless you want to replace all the parts that come in contact with milk). If it is a closed system pump, it is fine if you replace tubes and flanges, as nothing but the inside of the tubes touch the milk.
Is it Melesa, or Medela? I couldn't find Melesa anywhere online.
This website has replacement parts for Medela:

Breast milk...? Last night I went to register at Babies R Us, and as I was looking at the breast pumps with a sales associate she showed me the small cups for milk storage... While talking about them she mentioned that they are freezer safe and "boil-able"... When I asked about using them in the microwave she said you couldn’t microwave breast milk. Not wanting to sound like any more of an idiot I just said okay and went on. Is that accurate? Why is micro waving breast milk not okay? Is boiling okay then I guess? If it's frozen how long can you keep it? I am almost 22 weeks pregnant with my first guy and have never breast fed before and haven't seen a lactation consultant as of yet. So any advice as to the whole breast milk storage thing would be very helpful!!! Thanks!!! |
| You can store the milk in the freezer and just run the bags under warm water in the sink and that is sufficient. Heating up breast milk too much gets rid of some of the good nutrients. Also, it doesn't heat equally in the microwave and can cause pockets that will get too hot and can burn the baby's mouth. It only takes a couple of minutes to unfreeze the milk using the warm water and it's not a big deal at all. When drinking from your breast the milk is room temperature and that's what you want to warm it to. |
Asked this eariler but i accidently deleted the question? i accidently deleted the question while trying to edit lol (new here)
Anyways, the question was:
I don't want to breastfeed but want my baby to have breast milk.
Are there any hospital grade breast pumps for sale in baby stores? if not, which compares the closest?
I don't want to breastfeed my baby but i do want my baby to recieve the best nutrition.
also, for those who pump, does pumping hurt your boobies?
And just to get things a little more clear,
*I am not going to breastfeed..period.
*I do not want to rent a breast pump.I am willing to shell out a hefty price for a (new) pump.
*I don't care if it will take longer than breast feeding. |
Ian, quiet being a punk.If you aren't going to be nice, don't answer at all! it IS that simple.
Ann, I exclusively pumped for my son his first year (after his first month) and it was not as difficult as everyone is claiming it to be.
I took specific lactation herbs to enrich the quality and quantity of my breast milk so I never had a problem with not getting enough milk out of my breasts. |
Using a used breast pump..? my mother found a medela double electric breast pump at a yard sale for 20 bucks so she bought it...
it works we have hooked it up and everything she knew the lady she got it from but now im having trouble finding out what i need to replace and where to get it from...also i need a book that tells me things about it because it has all these parts that i have no clue what they do..
does anyone know of any where to get these things from and what all i need new?
any help is appreciated |
BabiesRUs carries most Medela breast pump parts. If there's a part you can't find there, like tubing, maybe, you might be able to get a kit from your local hospital's lactation department. They have rental kits that come with tubing, membranes, valves, breast shields, and more. You can get most of those at BRU, though.
You can also order from Medela's website, if you have trouble finding a certain part. I believe you can find product manuals, too. If you need any further help, you can ask here, too. A lot of women here, myself included, have used Medela pumps before. |
Breastfeeding question? When I was 19 i got my nipples pierced. I got pregnant at 21 and i took them out when I was 3 months pregnant. When Michelle came along I was ready to breastfeed, but my milk would not come out. I bought a 300 dollar pump and after a whole day of pumping i only produced one ounce of milk. does anyone know if i did this to myself? Can something like this be reversed? If not I got a breast pump for sale real cheap, only been used for a week. |
There is tons of free support for breastfeeding, so be sure to call Laleche league or your hospital or midwife with questions and for lactation support.
But here's some ideas. I'm not an expert either, but I am breastfeeding successfully.
1) It takes time to get really used to this and for your body to really put out some volume.
2) Look at a picture of your guy, or if you're really organized, tape it next time it cries and listen to it. There is a natural "let-down" response for your milk when you hear or see these things while trying to breastfeed.
3) Relax, this really helps.
4) Take a hot shower, it helps the milk flow.
5) Europeans swear by drinking a little dark beer. Belgian ale. I think it does help a little, if only to relax you. Not too much, though, or you will affect the guy.
6) Make sure the vacuum seal on the pump is nice and tight and all the parts are put together right. I once tried to pump for a whole day and got only an ounce and it was because something was sitting on the tube and blocking the "suck". Another time the little flappy thing that is inside the bottle was loose.
Don't give up easily: breastfeeding is so much easier than the bottle feeding once you get it down! And better for the guy. Good luck! |
I am going to breast feed my twins 1st time mom here so I need some help,? I really like the avent bottles so I was thinking about getting the Avent breast pump also but a good friend of mine just told me that breast pump is not good the best one on the market is Medela breast pump its the hosptials sell also. Is this true i want a electric double breast pump also I want to get a deal on one cuz with having twins everything is adding up FAST this week at Target its on sale for 249.99 has anyone got it better price then that? |
Get an ameda- it's $200.00 and awesome!
It's a closed system, so no risk of milk contamination, easy to use, to set up, to break down, and not painful at all. It's also fast when you have to reorder parts- they are there in 3 days using regular shipping.
I had Medela pump and didn't like it- twice it had to go back because of suction issues. When you are working, you cannot afford "suction issues". So, we went with an Ameda and have never had an issue.

We bought ours over a year ago- and it's still like new- and I use it 3-4 times a day everyday for over a year.
Something you may want to consider- price is a lot- but for what it does- it's worthwhile. My husband gasped at the cost- and you know- we had to use no formula at all in her first year. SHe is now 13 months old, still nursing and I am still pumping 3-4 times a day. In the cost of formula alone- it paid for itself. |
