Cheapest Medela double electric beast pump?

taliwillow

Hello,

I am trying to get hold of a medela double electric breast pump and the cheapest I can find is £70. Just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere I can get one cheaper. There dont seem to be many double ones on ebay and they seem to go for almost as much as a new one so thought I might as well look to see how much the cheapest new ones are.

Thanks

Are you really set on this particular model? At the NCT class they showed us the breast pumps they have to hire, and they are proper good quality hospital-style ones. I think it was £26 per month to hire one of those. Over 6 months I know this would work out more than buying one, but the quality is good and ultimately no-one knows how well bf is going to go so at least we won't have shelled out for something we didn't use.

Thanks for your reply. It doesn't have to be that particular one, but after my last baby I hired one from the hopspital and it was £40 for a month so it was a struggle to hire it for one month so I thoght this time it might work out better value to bu one as I have a feeling this baby may not be able to breast feed either (although I am going to try). The hospital use a medela double so as thats what I have used before, I know they are good which is why I am looking at this model but any other recommendaions would be great.
Don't you have to pay to be a member of the NCT?

I think you can hire them without being a member. We have done the NCT course, but are not actually members.
