Actually, it's not legal to sell a used breastpump. So, what do you do?
Throwing away your often-expensive breastpump seems wrong on so many levels. But how do you keep it out of the landfill?
Did you know that nearly 40% of the families served by
In exchange for my helping to spread the awareness of the Medela Recycles program, the kind folks at Medela are giving away one of their popular Freestyle breastpumps to one lucky winner in the Green Grandma community. How awesome is that?!
Valued at $399, this compact, lightweight double electric breastpump features a rechargeable battery for mobile pumping. Its 2-Phase Expression technology is based on the two distinct phases of how babies breastfeed and is proven to produce more milk in less time!
When babies latch on, they initially suck faster to start the milk flow. This is called the stimulation phase and is followed by the expression phase where babies slow down with a deeper suck after the "let-down" starts. The Freestyle's 2-Phase Expression technology works the same way. Plus, with the Easy Expression bustier, moms are able to pump hands-free!
Enter to win the Freestyle pump in the Rafflecopter below. Contest is open to US residents only, ages 18+. Entries will be verified and winner will have 48 hours to respond before an alternate winner is chosen.
Good luck!

I would love to win a pump since my last pump died after extended nursing two babies.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Jessica!
DeleteI love Medela pumps! As a full time working mom I pumped for over a year w/ my last baby, and know a lot of my success was due to having such a great quality pump! I've used (and loved) the Swing, Symphony, Harmony, and PISA!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Carrie. Sounds like you are a faithful fan!
DeleteWe are on baby number 5, I exclusively breastfeed our last 2 and let's just say my pump isn't going to make through another 12 months, thanks for the chance to win would be very exciting to win this! :) I could donate my medella pump as well if I won
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I hope you'll donate it whenever you're done with it one way or another. Congrats on this 5th little one!
DeleteI want to win this pump because I hear they are the best and I am soon to give birth and would love to have a pump but times are hard. Just being honest but I hope to win a Medela. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the upcoming birth! And good luck. I hope everything works out for you.
DeleteI really need a new pump. I used my insurance to get my last pump when my daughter was born two years ago. Now i'm expecting baby #4 and my pump isn't working and my insurance wont cover another one. with 4 kids affording another pump is gonna be hard. I have my manual pump that still works but I want the best start in breastfeeding. I was hoping I could take my pump to the hospital when baby is born so I can pump even if he's too sleepy and even if my after labor pains get so bad it's hard to hold him. Labor pains get worse with each birth and after #3 were pretty bad. I always have such a hard time breastfeeding but I learn new tricks with every baby.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the upcoming birth, Lisa. And good luck! I'm sure winning this would help a lot.
DeleteWould love to win this for our daughter. She is constantly pumping to feed our granddaughter breast milk because the baby has no suck reflex. She had purchased a used pump while pregnant, but because of how often she is pumping, the pump seems to be wearing out. Our granddaughter is only 9 weeks old. They could really use a new pump!
ReplyDeleteYikes! It's actually illegal to sell a used breast pump! I'd agree with you... she needs a new one! Good luck, Trisha.
DeletePregnant again after losing twins at 12 weeks back in January...anything will help after those medical bills, plus breast is best! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss, Gretchen. <3 And yes, breast IS best! Good luck with the giveaway and with this pregnancy.
DeleteMy son has a terminal illness making him completely fed by a feeding tube. I have been exclusively pumping for him for over a year. Breast milk will always be good for him due to his disease and digestions issues, so I will be pumping as long as I can. I would love to be able to do things while I pump and not be attached to a wall. It will also help at doctor appointments that I don't have to plug my pump in. My pump is 4 years old, it is the one I used for my first. So I would love a new one as mine is starting to go out because of how much I have used it.
ReplyDeleteOh, Nici, I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. Good for you for giving your son the best possible nutrition! Good luck with the contest. I'll be praying for you and your precious little one.
DeleteI would love a new pump because I now work weekends with having an almost 3 month old. So lots of pumping to do and have never owned a new pump!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
danielle
Good luck, Danielle!
DeleteSo glad to learn that Medela is recycling pumps. A new pump that gets more milk faster sounds like the dream, as I return to work in a couple of weeks and have a very limited amount of time to pump.
ReplyDeleteThe recycling program is awesome! Good luck with the contest and with returning to work.
DeleteI would love to win a Medela breast pump! I'm having my first little one in a few months and I am 100% set on breastfeeding. However I will have to return to work soon after he's here and I know the Medela pump will help me continue to exclusively breastfeed once I do. Thanks so much for the chance at the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your return to work, Brandi!
DeleteI would love to win a Medela pump because it would benefit my child! There are so many benefits and I want to do what's best for my child. My insurance does not cover electric pumps, and a manual will not be enough when I return to work. This would be just what we need and great to win!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Cathy!
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS! You are the winner!
DeleteI use a spectra now and the parts are just SOOOO expensive that I need to find a cheaper option!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Christina.
