    Default Kit can be used with which pump?

    Hi

    I am abit confused... i dont know whether i should buy a pump or get a rental. Right now i am using a manual one but it is really tiresome for me and it isnt doing much help in increasing the supply..

    So should i get a pump? or just nurse the baby more?

    In the hospital they gave me this kit:

    Will this work with medela PISA?
    Need some advice.

    Thanks

    yes with a rental symphony or a home use pisa or pis. Are you going to be working or just need to up your supply?

    yes if you want your child to take a bottle you prob need to introduce one by 4 weeks or so and give one at least a couple times a week. To increase supply nurse the baby more, if that isn't working I would consult a LC and/or pump after feedings-but definitely nurse, nurse, nurse. I didn't worry about adding pumping to the mix until around 4 weeks-there is enough going on (and enough attached to your boob) in those first few weeks without that. I used a PISA last time and am using a freestyle this time (which does not use the same tubing)
