Questions to ask when renting a breast pump:
1. Is
the pump a hospital-grade (approximately a $900 value)?
2. What
are the costs to rent? Is there a separate one time set-up fee?
3. Do
you rent by the day or only by the month?
4. If
I already have a collection kit, will it work with the brand of pump you rent?
5. If
not, how much is the kit that your pump requires?
