Breast Pump Hire

The Ardo Medical breast pumps hired out are hospital grade pumps, so people tend to have more success with these than the manual hand pumps and the smaller electric pumps you can buy.  

Hire Costs

Breast pumps can be hired for a minimum of 7 days and cost £1.20 per day.  As well as the pump hire cost, you need to buy the collection kits (£10 for single expressing, £16 for double).

If you are hiring for a longer period of time, there is a special rate of £46 for the first month including one collection kit or £48 for two collections kits.  It is then £26 for each continuing month.  There are special rates for those on income support and those with babies in intensive care.

The branch now has an additional pump to hire out due to increased demand.

Get involved with improving breastfeeding support in Bromley. 

We are gathering the experiences and opinions of local mothers with regards to the support they received in breastfeeding following the birth of their child(ren).

The questions are aimed at mothers who chose to breastfeed their baby at birth, but please complete the questionnaire however you fed your baby. Click here to complete the survey.

Thank you for your time.
