Breast Pump

I'd been waffling between getting a new breast pump and getting a used one.

The FDA recommends that they only be used by one person. I'd been leaning that direction, then I talked to people who've actually used them and I looked at a video of how it works. No fluids actually go into the pump part and all the external parts are replaceable. There's no possible way that milk could get sucked into the pump and then get spat back out into the external parts. New Medela breast pumps are $300 roughly.

I changed my mind. I decided to get one on Craigslist. I found one that was being advertised that the lady said had only been used a couple of times. She was selling hers for $160. It came with a bunch of extra pieces, too. I went through it and cleaned everything today. All the external pieces can go through the dishwasher, but we're waiting till closer to when we'll need it.
