Costs of EPing - Janna

We've asked several of our pumping moms to add up their expenses and explain how much they've spent EPing. You can read all of the cost breakdowns posted to date by searching the cost label. Here's Janna's breakdown:


Cost of EPing

1.) Hospital Grade Rental Pump - $8 per month
2.) Lactation Consultant Fees (included pump instruction) - $200 per visit x 2
3.) Medela Freestyle - ~$380
5.) Medela Symphony Kit - ~$20
6.) Bottles - ~$100
7.) Breast Milk Storage Bags - $30
8.) Time: 2-6 hours per day pumping - priceless!
9.) Hands Free Bra - ~$30
10.) Bottle Brush - $5
11.) Nursing Pads - ~$20
12.) Deep Freezer for breast milk storage (used) - $100
13.) Medela Spare Parts - $12
14.) Medela Membranes - $8
15.) Lanolin (several tubes) - ~$20

I think that's it!! I probably spent more than necessary, but again, we didn't expect to be EPing and had no plan so we just did everything trial by error which ended up being very expensive.
