Almost more than my first car! I used it for two LOs and planning on keeping it for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1637243 Thu, 15 May 2014 15:39:57 +0000 cmomma17 1637243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: LOL! yes, I am actually done!

I couldn't take one more day! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1637202 Thu, 15 May 2014 15:27:03 +0000 birdofafeather 1637202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how are you done pumping?! i feel like we were just living your pumping saga!!</p> <p>keep it for a backup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636959 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:18:19 +0000 Applesandbananas 1636959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha id love to burn mine too but I won't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636914 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:06:41 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1636914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I think the "rules" are just one person should use it, but I know many people who have used a friends' pump with new tubing and flanges and they have been totally fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636894 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:03:12 +0000 cmomma17 1636894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shortcake: good idea, but I don't think it's supposed to be used by more than one person? </p> <p>@grizz: ha! seriously!</p> <p>@smurfette: great point! dragging it back and forth to work every day was the worst!</p> <p>I'll have to check and see what the manual says ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636872 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:57:47 +0000 Smurfette 1636872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I kept mine. I figured by the time we have another I might be able to get another one through insurance for free again. Then I can keep one at work and one at home. One less thing to carry around every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636865 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:55:15 +0000 shortcake 1636865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please don't throw a good pump in the garbage. Donate it to a women's shelter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636831 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:49:14 +0000 MamaJ 1636831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know but I kept mine and put it in the closet. Even though I don't have plans for another LO. It cost so much I wasn't going to toss it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636783 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:39:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 1636783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd keep it up as a backup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636777 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:38:13 +0000 Boheme 1636777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could burn mine in a bonfire, but I guess I should keep it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636754 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:33:58 +0000 cmomma17 1636754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guess I'm keeping it as a back up! :) </p> <p>My secret fear is that I'd trash it, but then the laws would change and I wouldn't be able to get one free from insurance the second time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636753 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:33:48 +0000 Cole 1636753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep it too, you never know if your company might switch insurance and then you might get stuck with a model that you don't want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636744 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:31:29 +0000 Alivoo01 1636744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd keep it as a backup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636668 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:16:59 +0000 Anagram 1636668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I would keep it, even if you get a new one through insurance later. Then you'll have a back up, or one for home and one for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636662 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:15:41 +0000 Mamaof2 1636662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the same pump for #1 and #2 and then threw it away!</p> <p>If your insurance covers it (mine didn't) you can get a new one for #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-supposed-to-trash-my-pump#post-1636655 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:14:35 +0000 cmomma17 1636655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am definitely done with pumping for LO #1. We are down to nursing twice a day, and I have no plans to be away from him anytime soon (he's 13 months).</p> <p>Do I trash my pump? It's a medela pump in style advance (I think). The kind in the black tote bag.<br /> Do I get a new pump for baby #2? (whenever that happens ...) </p>
