Rent a Breast Pump
Why a Hospital Grade Multi-User Breast Pump?
Hospital Grade Multi-User Breast Pumps are often recommended for those who need to establish or build a milk supply due to infant prematurity, infant disability, NICU admission, twins and higher multiples, folks who cannot feed directly at the breast/chest (exclusive pumping), those who will be separated from their infant for any reason, and those who are having difficulty with supply for any reason. A Hospital grade breast pump is often:
- More effective than personal use models. They better stimulate your breasts to adequately raise your levels of the hormones prolactin and oxytocin to increase your breast milk production and output because they are stronger and more closely match the suction and cycling of the human infants’ oral patterns.
- More efficient than personal use models, may shorten pumping time due to better triggering letdowns.
- More durable than personal use models, these motors often maintain the exact same suction strength for 6000+ hours of use and they tend to have much stronger housing as well. While there are some personal use models that are true closed systems, all hospital grade pumps are true closed systems with double valves preventing backflow into the tubing. This does make them a bit bulkier but not much heavier than personal use models.
- More hygienic than personal use models, especially if used by multiple users or same user across multiple births as they are designed and approved by the FDA to be safe for multiple users. They are a true closed system, so no milk is ever going to make it into the motor unit.
- An excellent choice for those exclusively pumping for any length of time, whether you need to pump for a short time to establish and maintain a supply while your infant matures the ability to feed at your body, you’ll be separated from your infant for some time, or you plan to exclusively pump your entire breastfeeding journey.
- A perfect option for businesses or nurseries offering a lactation room for multiple users. Each user just needs their own initiation or pump kit.
