I think they`re right, try wic. It`s based on your income. Although, being a teenager (under 18?) I`m not sure if they`d look at their income or their parents.

It depends where you are, I`m in calgary AB and there was a place here that would let you rent one (hospital grade) for free.

I think you can get one from your local W.I.C. office.

My insurance paid for mine 90% and I got a Medela Pump-in-Style for $27.50 out of pocket. They won`t tell you about it unless you ask - so just give you insurance company a call :)

You can rent one monthly at the hospitals around here but not sure if they do that everywhere.

They usually give you a manual pump at the hospital or atleast that is what they do hear. Just ask they may be able to direct her to more resources.

Thanks Ladies, I`ll pass the word. Yorkc - she is breastfeeding (trying), but the baby is having a very hard time with it - she wants to try pumping, but doesn`t have a pump.

WIC, some insurances will pay for one and sometime the family planning places will have them to rent at discount prices.

i don`t know if wic will give you a breast pump, i`m on wic myself, but they do give good stuff like coupons for juice, milk, food while pregnant and food for baby. There is also Medicaid available which I`m also on which covers mom while pregnant and baby up to 5 years, just go to your local health dept, and ask about it, they also give shots and checkups for baby while you`re on Medicaid. There are places probably around the area that may provide breast pumps for cheap or free or ask someone you know, but a teenage mom may not breastfeed (face the facts lol), so wic will provide formula.
