Stupid first day back to work :(. Rant

I haven't been on much since having my sweet little girl, but I will be now that I'm back to work and school. I wasn't super active here before, but it's always been a fun place to come.

First day back was yesterday. I went to lunch, and got all plugged into my breast pump to start pumping when..... The plastic breast cup cracked on one side!!! I've had my Playtex breast pump for 5 years, and it's lasted through 2 kids so I shouldn't be surprised, but I really didn't need that on my first day!

I can pump one side at a time, which helps. I called Playtex to get a replacement breast cup, but the model has been discontinued and the rep said the new cups aren't compatible.

Argh!!!

Missed you ladies. I'm glad to be back.

  • You can take your pump to BRU and trade it in for the Medela for $200. It's still a good chunk of money, but its a really good pump! Sorry your first day back sucked. :|

    Good to know. Thanks! The closest BRU is in Vegas, about 120 mile drive, so we won't get there for a while. We live off Amazon Prime because of where we live :)

  • Can you get a free or discounted one through your insurance? That really stinks on your first day.

    My insurance covers a manual pump only :(

    The sale is only for about another week... They have it on sale online for $240 though, I think.
