Introduction to Breast Pump Rental in Ireland
In my Dublin clinic, I often meet mums who are looking for a reliable and efficient breast pump rental option. Medela is a well-known brand in Ireland, but is their rental service the best option for you? In this article, we'll compare Medela breast pump rental with TheRelievoo, a hospital-grade, wearable breast pump. As an IBCLC, I've seen many mums struggle with breastfeeding, and I'm passionate about helping you find the best solution for your needs. If you're struggling with breastfeeding, don't hesitate to reach out to the HSE's National Breastfeeding Support Line on 1850 24 1850 or Cuidiú's breastfeeding support line on 01 814 0658.
Medela Breast Pump Rental Ireland: What to Expect
Medela offers a range of breast pumps for rental in Ireland, including the popular Medela Symphony. However, their rental prices can be steep, with a daily rate of up to €10. In contrast, TheRelievoo offers a Wearable Breast Pump (Double) for €109.90, a significant saving of up to €110 compared to Medela's rental options. I recall a mum who came to my clinic, exhausted from expressing milk with a traditional pump; she was thrilled to discover TheRelievoo's wearable pump, which allowed her to express milk discreetly while playing with her toddler in St. Stephen's Green.

One mum I worked with was struggling to express milk with a traditional pump, and was feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. When she switched to TheRelievoo's wearable pump, she was amazed at how easy and convenient it was to express milk on-the-go. She told me that it was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, and that she could finally enjoy the freedom and flexibility of breastfeeding without being tied to a pump. She even started expressing milk while walking her dog in the park, and loved the sense of liberation it gave her.
