Re: pump rental station in Edmonton?

[Guest guest]

Has she called her local health unit? Most (if not all) of them provide free

breastfeeding classes so a nurse there may know. They would probably know where

she can get one. I know the hospitals rent them. The small community hospital

in Tofield (small town SW of Edmonton where I used to live) lends theirs out for

free. I am in Edmonton but have never rented one, she can call the Capital

Health Information Line at to find out maybe or at least get the

number of her local health unit.

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know of a pump rental station in or near Edmonton? I have a mom

that needs a hospital grade pump to rent for a few months and need a local

contact. Thanks in advance.

Michele,

Thanks for the number. I will pass it on. The local nurse told her that

since her baby was doing fine on formula that there was no need to

breastfeed. AARGH!

Wouldn't it be nice if the medical advice nurses give like this

would fall legally under malpractice?! Too bad breastfeeding

mothers don't have deep pockets like the formula makers. I could

see the headlines now: Makers of Breastmilk sue Makers of Formula

for Falsifying Data!

DUH! I guess some nurses still don't get it. We have a very proactive bfing

program here. We have community health nurses trained in lactation who will

come to your home and bfing classes at most (if not all) health centers. But

still, a lot of moms don't nurse *sigh*

, not sure if anyone has answered you or not, but most places that do

home medical equipment will rent them, or she could call the lactation

consutlants at the hospital they would know,
