Medela® Breastpump Rental

The Lactina Breastpump is recommended for the following situations:

1. Sore Nipples
2. Engorement: A gentle pump is useful if the baby is having difficulty removing enough milk to bring relief or to soften nipple to help baby latch on.
3. Low Milk Supply: Pumping can boost supply by removing milk efficiently from the breasts
4. Sore breasts, plugged milk ducts, or breast infections
5. Flat and inverted nipples are not uncommon. Over time, nipple tissue will become more elastic. Pumping can help this process.
6. Premature or Hospitalized Baby: Whenever a baby is unable to breastfeed because of prematurity or hospitalization, mothers need equipment that is designed to help build and maintain their milk supply.
7. Latch-on Problems: Use the pump to protect your milk supply while working out the latch-on difficulties.
8. A breast pump can protect the milk supply of a mother who must travel.
9. Medical Complications: If you or your baby has medical complications where breastfeeding is interrupted, use a breastpump to maintain your supply.
10. Full or Part-time Employment: If you are away from your baby for part or most of the days you will appreciate a pump that helps you keep a good milk supply.

For each of these situations, guidance from a health care provider or lactation consultant (IBCLC) is recommended.
