Hi Yueh Ru, my sis passed me a hand me down bulky medela pump. I didnt think I wld have much supply by day 2 yet and so i didnt bring the pump to Mt A. I delivered on a Sun so no LC was ard. On Mon, LC came to help me. She said I seem to have good supply and could help express precious colostrum which she immed help to position my nb for me to cradle n DL. by end of day two,,my breasts engorged and I didnt know until I felt they were rock solid and hot and I was feeling feverish. By then (midnight) I was desperate for the pump (baby back in nursery sleeping) and loaned the hosp grade medela. To answer ur question that u asked the mommy above, I paid $50 for a set of disposable flanges and bottles and tubings (so its brand new in a pkt), package said smtg like, good for up to 8 uses/washes. Basically if u say u need to rent the pump, they will then bring u a new set of disposable flanges n bottles n tubings and then open it. once opened, it will be chargeable. Sugg u try calling up the hosp tt u plan to go, ask them the cost. I am not sure if the disposable pkt has various sizes or is it 'free size'. For Mt A, LC dont work on sundays... so nurses come round to assist but they can be slightly impatient and rough. I didnt have to request for Lc to visit. I think at Mt A it is standard tt they will come round to visit mommies who just delivered. After I went bk to work, I decided I needed another pump to lug ard in my office bag. So I bought a Spectra pump. Compact n lighter n portable. cheers,
