My cat peed on the bag so I had been lugging it around in a purse. Not convenient at all. Plus it got really beat up and wasn't working that great at the end. I will get a new one through insurance when we have #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1353031 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:28:58 +0000 LovelyPlum 1353031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: and I am so excited about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1353020 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:26:06 +0000 ALV91711 1353020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to lend it to my sister and then if we have another she will be done with it by then. I think after we are both done with it I will get rid of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1353007 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:23:01 +0000 cascademom 1353007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm keeping mine for #2 as well. It's a Medela PISA from 2007 from my SIL. I think by #2, it's going to be toast if it doesn't give out before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352999 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:21:25 +0000 yellowbird 1352999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: mines hiding in a cabinet. I will likely get a new one whenever we have #2. Mine wasn't working that great in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352971 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:15:25 +0000 Alivoo01 1352971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm keeping mine for LO#2, but once we're done with kids I might give it away or sell it if there's still a market for my pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352931 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:07:22 +0000 autumnlove 1352931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was busted and no longer under warranty so I gave it to a friend with a handy DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352920 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:04:44 +0000 Mamaof2 1352920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 2 kids I threw it away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352909 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:02:19 +0000 edelweiss 1352909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i will keep mine in case we have another baby, but after that i will give it away or sell it (it's an ameda purely yours closed system).</p> <p>however, i do have an old pump that just gave out after a while that's sitting in my closet because i don't know what to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352828 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:48:21 +0000 cheert16 1352828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking this.... do I save it till next LO?

My extra one is in my desk... I really should bring that home lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352822 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:47:26 +0000 yin 1352822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sending mine to @LovelyPlum :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352560 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:03:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1352560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hygeia pumps can also be recycled: <a href="http://www.hygeiainc.com/how-to-recycle-your-breast-pump/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hygeiainc.com/how-to-recycle-your-breast-pump/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352552 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:01:47 +0000 LovelyPlum 1352552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The closed system ones can be used by more than one person (I know, because I'm in the market ;) ) The open system ones can't be, though. I don't know what you'd do with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-breast-pump-after-you-were-done#post-1352544 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:00:25 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1352544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still need mine, but I'm curious what I'll do with it once I'm all finished. I think all my friends are done having kids so I don't have anyone to give it to. Can you resell them? </p>
