However my lactation consultant said I still need to rent a lactina (because it's hospital grade and the one recomeneded for relactation.) Is that still necessary or can I relactate with the limerick and the pis. (I have heard some many good things about both, I couldn't decide.) I will go ahead and rent one for a month if it will help. But I don't know if I actually will, any thoughts? Janeen Copy Link to Clipboard

The limerick acts more like the way my baby sucks. The hospital pump hurt me! Made my nipples sore. I really like the limerick. Thats my opinion.

We used to just recommend the PIS and along came the Limerick. Both Nona and Lenore tested this pump out while it was being developed. It is the best from what I understand. The PIS is still good too. I would not rent a pump you have two excellent pumps that hundreds of women have used to induce lactation with.
