Many mothers who are hiring a breast pump may need to increase their milk supply, to feed twins, or for breastfeeding problems. Lactation consultants often recommend they hire a pump.
A Lactina or Symphony breast pump would be recommended for women that need to express all their baby’s feeds. A hire pump is recommended for mothers that need to express 6 + times per day.
If you are considering whether to hire or buy a breast pump – you need to think about how often you’ll plan on using it long term. Once you get to 4 months hirage, it would actually work out cheaper to actually purchase the Pump in Style rather than hire a pump. (And this one has the same efficiencies as the Symphony and Lactina). Plus then you get to keep using the pump for longer without additional expense, and can use for future children too.
Also bare in mind that if you are only planning express milk up to 3 times per day, it will be more economical to purchase a breast pump (lower model) rather than hiring. We recommend the Medela Swing breast pump for mothers that are only expressing 3 times per day.
