Electric hospital-grade breast pumps for convenience
I am touring my hospital later this month and plan to clarify. I was told that they will provide a manual pump which the parts will fit a Medela pump that fleet and family services loans out. That's what I plan to do. Hope it helps! Also, on our base there is a lactation consultant so definitely worth asking about.
