Hi Mummy, I also gave birth in 2020 and back then I requested to pump so they gave me a Medela pump machine with empty bottles and flange. I forgot what size it was. They’ll also provide you with a long container to keep the items given to you. You can just pump and they’ll keep the milk for your baby to drink. You’ll be charged accordingly in your total bill. Back in 2020, I brought my own pump but was scared to use it cause afraid the nurses might see hahaha so I asked for one, and the pump machine stayed with me throughout my 1-week stay (I had complications post-delivery). At KKH, babies rooming with mummies is encouraged hence, you’ll still need to latch too. I’m not sure how much the pump and bottles cost cause my total bill size was $11k (before Govt subsidy) so everything was already included. I had my hospital insurance to cover for all my complications so I didn’t pay a single cent after my discharge. You can try and call up KKH and ask?
Hi! I have recently delivered under subsidised route in dec 2021. They automatically provided me the medela electric pump hosp grade w the flanges, storage bottles and even syringe to collect your colostrum. So far, i was not billed for any rental of the breast pump and my stay was only for 2 days 1 night.
Hey mama, I’ve heard you have to pay for rental. Most mamas bring their own.
