Medela Freestyle Breastpump Giveaway!

What happens when you're done breastfeeding and no longer have a use for your pump? 

Choose the correct answer: 

A. Post it on Craigslist?
B. Sell it at a garage sale?
C. Donate it to Goodwill?
D. None of the above

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?

Fortunately, Medela has the answer! The Medela Recycles program focuses on helping moms who have completed their breastfeeding journey help other moms start theirs. By donating your pump to the Medela Recycles program, you support the donation of new hospital-grade, multi-use breastpumps and supplies to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Since parents of preemies and other infants in the NICU can't be at the hospital 24/7, the same high-quality equipment used at the hospital is available for use during their stay at a Ronald McDonald House. It's just one less thing for parents to worry about during this demanding time.

Did you know that nearly 40% of the families served by

RMHC are caring for babies in the NICU?  By recycling your pump through Medela Recycles, you can feel good about the fact that your pump is being recycled properly and is helping another mom (and baby) who really needs it. Your recycling directly translates to caring for families in crisis in a tangible, meaningful way. And you don't even have to pay for postage! Click here to learn more.

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!
