Answer

Yes as long as it's clean and sterilised there is no problem x

Answer

Hospitals rent them out... I'm pretty sure each one of those has been used by many mothers. The parts that should be new to you would be tuning nipple flanges, membranes and collection bottles

Answer

A good friend of mine gave me hers for my first baby. I would call your insurance company, most will cover the cost of one. But honestly if you are going back to work, it maybe nice to have a back up one, or one to leave at work and one for home if you have an extra!

Answer

I used a pump with my first baby. I can remember several times falling asleep while pumping. When this happened, the bottles would over fill and milk would go into the tubes and in the machine. Im sure this doesn't happen often, but its possible. Most insurance companies will pay for a pump.
