Have you tried speaking to your health visitor or the local midwife centre? Your GP might be able to help or see if there is any information on Google.

Hi, I rented the Medela Symphony pump for a few months. It arrived the day after ordering and I found it to be extremely effective. It was expensive at £47 per month but it saved my breastfeeding journey and was therefore worth every penny to me.

Another vote for the Symphony pump direct from Medela. It was fab. We were out at an appt with baby so had it delivered to a local parcel shop and just to warn you it is large and heavy! xx

I rented symphony too. It was fab but expensive. Depends on how long you plan to use it for I guess. You could by a spectra for 2 to 3 months worth of rental. Or a bellababy pump from amazon for 1 months rental which is favoured by many exclusive pumpers. I find it pretty rough compared to the symphony but it gets the job done cheaply.

Hey

I did exactly the same as @prosopon and hired from Medela. The pump is fab and actually stimulates breast milk production which most normal pumps don’t. Once your milk is established it is so efficient you just pump for 15-20mins and you can get a full feed. I find it super convenient as it means my partner can take some feeds so I can have a nap or go for a bath etc.
