Boobs are just for milk, so I don't really care what people were thinking when they shopped my registry. My aunt ended up getting the bottles and DH's work friends got the pump, I ised the completion discount for the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2745224 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 10:32:02 +0000 Meowkers 2745224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I didn't. It felt too intimate for me. I didn't want people thinking about my boobs either. Ultimately everything except milk bags was covered by insurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2745205 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 10:15:07 +0000 skinnycow 2745205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't put any pumping supplies on my registry (I thought everything that came with my pump would be sufficient - ha!). I did register for a nursing pillow, though. I felt weird putting nipple cream, nursing pads, and nursing bras on there so I just bought those myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2745199 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 10:05:26 +0000 AlyssaSweetser 2745199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! When my sister had her baby I bought her the pump she wanted off her registry gift. I think people will buy it. If not you can use your perks in your registry has to get it discounted. I know that's what I am doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2517831 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 22:50:48 +0000 birdofafeather 2517831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep and friends were happy to get them for me! And I've gotten them for friends. Not as fun as baby clothes but more needed usually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516720 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 07:01:30 +0000 Happygal 2516720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure-along with a nursing pillow and other supplies. I put things on there to prepare for baby. I also had diapering stuff and didn't worry about people thinking about poop, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516712 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 06:46:54 +0000 MrsBrewer 2516712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and I received most of the items as gifts! Nipple cream, breast pads, milk storage bags, etc. although in my family / circle of friends breastfeeding is very common </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516604 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 22:04:37 +0000 starlitsky 2516604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind when other people do it, but for myself I made a separate list for that kind of stuff to purchase on my own. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516540 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 20:36:22 +0000 pregnantbee 2516540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516510 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 20:04:30 +0000 sunny 2516510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt weird about friends and family purchasing that stuff so I put the items on right before I used the completion discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516498 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 19:43:12 +0000 Smurfette 2516498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I wanted the completion discount. Work actually bought me some stuff but my boss wrapped it separate so I didn't open in front of everyone even though it was part of the group gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516492 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 19:35:11 +0000 petitenoisette 2516492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: aww that is so sweet </p> <p>I personally didn't find it necessary to put pumping stuff on my registry. I got my pump from insurance and then just bought any other pumping related items as needed. I didn't need any of that stuff right away and I was glad that I just waited to see what I actually needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516464 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 18:58:51 +0000 PawPrints 2516464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them on there at first when I was using the registry as my place to organize my list of stuff I wanted. Then when it came time to share it with people, including coworkers, I made the decision that nipple pads didn't need to be on there. I preferred to direct people toward other items anyway - the pumping stuff was all fairly cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516462 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 18:57:31 +0000 Beth24 2516462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually just went to a friends baby shower and she had some medela supplies on there...steam bags, extra parts, etc and I was excited to buy them for her. I'm an open book when it comes to my breastfeeding experience so she always asks me questions about it. Those things cost me a bunch of money after I had my daughter so I was glad to get them for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516446 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 18:35:53 +0000 ShootingStar 2516446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's totally fine for other people to, but I did not. Insurance paid for most of my pump and I didn't want people buying me things for my boobs. In already self conscious about them. If the pump hadn't been covered I might have been tempted though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516421 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 18:04:35 +0000 pachamama 2516421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: that is too funny! I guess it would start a discussion </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516420 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 18:04:03 +0000 pachamama 2516420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. When you think about it, what is more important than feeding a baby? It's kind of the only essential item :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516370 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 16:46:02 +0000 autumnlove 2516370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516325 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 15:50:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 2516325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My insurance covered the pump but I or a few other items on there- breast pads, those soothie gel pads. Someone did get them (my parents neighbor!) along with some other items and I appreciated it- though I did feel a little funny at the shower. I still think it's baby gear though! Things for the mon would be more like stretch mark cream or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516319 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 15:43:39 +0000 bloved 2516319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but mainly for the completion discount. I was so embarrassed (and touched) when my 3rd grade class completed my registry for me and bought all those supplies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516316 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 15:36:58 +0000 Alba4 2516316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My husband's aunt got us my pump. A good friend gave me a good stash of BF supplies (storage bags, nipple cream, pads, those gel so others, ice packs, etc.). I wasn't embarrassed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516292 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 15:19:36 +0000 snowjewelz 2516292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No.. I put it under a separate registry so I can get a discount later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516286 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 15:15:35 +0000 lilyofthewest 2516286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! Yeah, insurance gave me a pump, but they didn't give me spare flanges, extra valves, replacement tubing, a car power supply, or hands free pumping bras. And I have desperately needed all of those things to make WOH while breastfeeding doable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516236 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:27:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2516236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and funny enough a friend of mine asked me for my registry and quickly said she likes to give things for the mom not really the baby. I pointed her to the two Boobease items! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516235 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:27:11 +0000 gingerbebe 2516235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but then I realized our FSA covered all of that stuff so I ended up just buying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516233 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:26:56 +0000 LBee 2516233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't. I added them when I was buying everything with my completion discount, though. I do think they are "baby supplies," but I didn't like the idea of my husband's cousin's wife's brother (slight exaggeration) potentially buying me some breast pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516228 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:25:21 +0000 avivoca 2516228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, but I didn't expect anyone to buy them for me. I just wanted the completion discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516226 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:24:42 +0000 Shantuck 2516226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I don't understand how pumping supplies aren't "baby supplies." They are something that you need in order to provide for your babies basic needs and are no different than buying a breastfeeding pillow or bottle. I registered for a pump and miscellaneous pumping gear and didn't really think twice about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516221 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:23:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2516221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, but only because I could get the completion discount for them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-put-pumping-supplies-on-your-baby-registry#post-2516220 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:22:56 +0000 travelingnanny 2516220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my insurance won't cover it then I'm definitely going to add one to my registry. I don't think it is a big deal. </p>
