I was talking to my doc about BFing and she said that she could write me a prescription for a pump and most insurances cover it... Thought this might help you guys out. I ahven't tried it yet, she wants me to wait till I deliever and then she will write me one.... but it doesn't hurt to try. Hope it helps you guys save money......

Make sure you call your insurance provider FIRST. The hospital insisted that I was covered when I delivered my last baby. I was going to be reliant on a pump since he was expected to be in the NICU for at least a month. Well, I took one home and barely used it (it smelled horrible!) by the time I got around to returning it (between caring for my 20 mos old and running back and forth to the hospital) Ihad a nice fat bill to pay. Univera didn't pick up any of the tab. Just call ahead to make sure. If you're planning to have more than 1 or will really depend on it the investment on a good pump is well worth it if you can swing the $. Or take "donations" at your shower. (Sounds lame but hey - every penny helps!)
