Selecting a Breastpump


When you purchase or rent a breast pump from the Northern Virginia Lactation Center, you also receive the support of our experienced staff. We can help you determine the breast pump that fits your life-style and budget. We also carry replacement parts for all the pumps we rent and sell. Our prices are well below the suggested retail prices found at popular baby and retail stores. All of our breastpumps are BPA free!

Should I Rent or Buy a Pump?

Many new mothers have told me that the rental pumps, particularly the Symphony pump by Medela and Ameda breastpumps are the most gentle and effective at establishing and maintaining their milk supply. As a lactation consultant, child birth and new parent educator, I always recommend too that mothers rent first and then think about purchasing a pump. The rental pumps cost over $2,000 and are leased at affordable rates. They are completely closed systems and offer no risk of cross contamination between users. Mothers purchase their own breast pumping kit and attach it to the pump. We can help to make sure that you are getting what you need.

Breastpump Performance Checkup

Wondering if your previously used breastpump is safe and functioning properly? With use and time parts wear, gaskets shrink, germs from previous use can be hiding, suction and function can be compromised. A poorly functioning pump will affect your milk supply as you depend on it when you are separated from your baby for outings, work or school. Call our office to make your appointment for a Breastpump Checkup. For a nominal fee our staff will check your Medela, Ameda, Hygiea, or Lansinoh pump and it's parts for suction, functioning and safety.
