    Default Whats a good inexpensive pump

    I was using the Avent Isis breast pump but hand pumping part is lost and I need to buy a new one. I don't think increasing my supply would help getting my 11 month old daughter to nurse more than 3x's in 24 hours. At least if I could get my supply built back up I could maybe pump a decent amount and give it to her instead of formula. She HAS to be on formula due to her only weighing 13lbs 3oz and she has weight gain issues. I would like to stop the formula and just give her the breast milk instead since breastmilk has more calories. With the pump I had I was pumping just 1oz from both breasts, which I know means nothing about how my supply is. I am sure it is down now that she will only nurse 2x's at night and once early morning, rest of the day she will refuse to nurse but this has been an ongoing issue. I am going to hold off on giving her cows milk when she turns 1 and I am sure her pediatrician will do the same since she is a bit tiny.

    I really love the Medela Harmony hand pump, I think it's about $35 and I've seen them at Babies R Us. I like it too b/c I use the PISA while I'm at work and the parts are all interchangeable.

    Where abouts in Indiana do you live? I live in Indiana and have an Avent Isis hand pump that I am giving away on. Maybe if you live close enough, we could me up and I could give it to you. I live about 20 minutes NW of Indy on I-65.

    Aw, thanks. I live in Southern Indiana, French Lick to be exact.
    Wow, that is really inexpensive. Hopefully I will be in Indy visiting my SIL soon and I could go to the Babies R Us there or just order it online.
