Houston Babies

Trying to help a friend...2 questions

(Note: I went back through the post and can't find these, I know we have talked about these before, I apologize up front...)

1) Pumps - where to rent or try to buy one pretty cheap?

2) Breast Milk donation? She has a sick little one but hasn't been able to really get her to latch well and is having to supplement (hence the reason for trying to find a pump as well).  But I know we have talked about a place in San Antonio (?) that has donated breast milk, is there a place like that here? Any other suggestions on finding some breast milk for her baby?

TIA!!!

Edit: Or might have a pump to sell?

  • I have two pumps (one newer one older) that I will be putting on Craigslist.  If she'd like to take a look at them, I can take pictures and send them to you via email.  I have no need for them since we've officially decided we are DONE. 

    You can also rent one at most hospitals (not sure of price though) and A Mother's Work as well.  

     I can't help on the donation part... Sorry.

  • Med Shop is pretty close to us (assuming she is on our side of town) and this is where I originally rented before deciding to buy a pump.  Recommend to her trying a nipple shield if she is having trouble latching; she can purchase one at Target or Babies R' Us. 

    I may be able to help with the donation I need to check my freezer stash at home.  Email me and we can arrange something!

    Also, here is a private donation place she can be connected through.

  • The hospital grade ones are the best at bringing more milk out. I rent one.

    They are about 50-60 dollars/month and sometimes they run specials for 35/month.

    I highly recommend the symphony medela.

    blessings!

    Woman's Hospital has a milk bank that does donations and I believe Hermann and Texas Children's does too.

  • I sent you another PM in case it doesn't update... It shows they were all posted yesterday at the time of the original one.  Surprise, something else that doesn't work on the nest. :D
