Is it worth the money to buy a breast pump when I'm unsure if I'm gonna breast feed?

Question

I'm 35 weeks along, gonna be a stay at home mom and will try to breast feed but of course I'm unsure on how it's gonna go. Is it worth buying a pump if I'm just gonna be at home all summer anyway? Especially since they are so expensive and I'm unsure of how it's going to go anyway.

Answer

My health insurance covers the whole cost of a brand new one/ you should check and see if yours does as well

Answer

The AMA requires insurance to cover it. You can use a company like Aeroflow to get yours ordered for free. If you don't end up using it, donate it to a worthy organization.

Answer

Insurance covers them.

Answer

Call your health insurance and see if they cover a breast pump! I got mine completely free from my insurance they had quite a few options and I went with the Medea. I'm 39 weeks and planning on breastfeeding I'm hoping it goes good but if it doesn't at least I know I didn't spend so much money on one

Answer

I'm not buying one! I'll be home for 8 weeks with our little one and then I'll be supplementing with formula while I'm at work after that. My work doesn't have a place for me to go (yes I know they're required, but there's genuinely not a place to go so I'd rather not bother with pumping) so I'll be breast feeding while I'm home and bottle feeding when I'm not. 
I figure it's not worth $150+ if I'm not sure I'd ever even get to use it! Plus it will simplify things for my family and husbands family for when they watch her because it will just be mixing formula!

Answer

No.
