I need to find a breast pump that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. :(

If you are on medicaid you should be able to get one for free I did they have sent it to me already. it's was a nature's best and thank God they did that thing was almost $400.

@jasminemaye, I hope it all works out for you! :)

I'll call wic tomorrow then and ask @kashs_mommy so I guess we'll see. 👍

@jasminemaye, did you receive a pump from Wic before? If you haven't they provide you one through state insurance. Call your local Wic office or just go there and tell them your situation. They really want people to breastfeed so they can tell you all your options. Also on facebook there's groups like mommy's thrifty finds and Im sure you can find a cheap breast pump on there. You will just have to buy new tubing etc..! The tubing and stuff comes all together for 20$ on Amazon. Which is way cheaper than buying from anywhere else because they have you buy everything separately.

I have state insurance but its my second child. my sister gave me my first pump but my sob first baby daddy got Rid of it or something. @kashs_mommy

ask your local Wic office. If you have state insurance and it's your first child they will give a breast pump. :)

I just can't do this then.

@jasminemaye, if you're looking for an electric pump, they're probably going to be above 100 no matter what. (Unless you rent one- which could cost more in the long run.) Manual pumps are much cheaper- and some moms like them better. But if you're planning on pumping everyday, and long term breast feeding (for a year or more) electric really would be the way to go. A little over $100 being honestly fairly inexpensive considering how expensive babies are in general.. Good luck.

The wic office will give you one

@peanuts1mom,

go to the wic office and tell them u r pregnant and need of wic assistance and they will ask u a few questions, u fill out a form, give them 2 forms of ID and ur insurance card I believe and u will have a meeting with a wic office worker and they will get u set up with wic, just tell them u will be breastfeeding and u will need a breast pump and they will talk to u from there

I can't afford $100 for a breast pump...@floraldoll, I'm pretty much doing this all on my own. and my insurance doesn't cover it... @emeliaday

is it scary meeting these people? and having to have appointments with them? I'm kind of an introvert ;-; meeting people and having appointments and stuff scares me Dx

you have to call wic office set up appointment and then go from there least that's how u do it here @peanuts1mom

@peanuts1mom, I went to the health department whom had a wic office and signed up right then. they did a pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy and had wic coupons that day :)

Free through insurance

I just checked with WIC last week, in person, and no, they do not cover breast pumps. You may be able to rent one if you go to school full time though..

I saw an Ameda pump at Walmart for a little over $100 which doesn't seem bad. My friend has one from Ameda and says the hospital even recommended it to her.

how do you get on wic @haleylove2011 because when I applied for medicaid I checked the box that says do you want to apply for that too but they took so long even getting my medicaid out to me that I gave up on that

I'd look online for baby's r us. and see what they got. if ya like it ship it. I seen some okay prices at target yesterday on them..

thanks guys @peanuts1mom and I'll check with wic @kayla471

yea. I got wic. it's not much but helps. and you only meet with them every 3 months

yup @jasminemaye I've got that and a box of storage bags to go with it in my cart right now and it's at 55

my insurance doesn't. :/ IL is broke and all @joneselisha2024 @twinmamma2015

try going through ur insurance I got mine that way and didn't have to pay anything

check out what your insurance covers, they may send you a free one

most WIC offices offer a breast pump to breastfeeding mommas, I got a double electric breast pump with my son when he was born 3yrs ago from the WIC office, they also give u vouchers to help with certain foods, like eggs, milk, cheese, bread ect.

mine doesn't :( @crice07 and thanks I'll look @peanuts1mom

some insurances give u one for free!

@kayla471,

lansinoh manual is only like 30 on walmart.com

I don't have a baby's r us near me.. and I need to get on wic but they moved so IT'S an hour drive. ugh.

try looking at target and baby's r us. they got some good ones. if you are on wic they will buy one for you. just saying.. lol.
