Whenever you get a good piece of advice from someone, it’s
normal to want to share it with
others. When you take the good piece of advice and save yourself hundreds of
dollars, it becomes something you need
to share with others. But when you realize that this piece of advice that saved
you lots of money is not known by too many people, it becomes your duty to spread the word! So, with that
introduction, I want you all to know this little secret that I found out right
before Levi was born: you may be able to get a brand new, double-electric, super-nice breast
pump…for free!
That’s right! A few weeks before Levi was born, I attended a
breastfeeding class at my hospital. We were talking about pumping and people
were bringing up how expensive it is to buy or rent a pump. Then, one girl in
my class said that she heard a rumor that you could get a free pump through
your insurance company if you requested it.
That sounded awesome to me, so when Levi was born, Justin
called our insurance company to find out about it. Turns out we could get a
free pump if we ordered it from a list of medical supply companies that they
provided to us. We can also get a new pump for each kid that we have, again,
for free! You can’t beat that!
To be honest, even after we found this out, I was a little
skeptical. I mean, a free pump from a medical supply company could be some
weird, cheap, off-brand, crap machine. Nope! We got a Medela Advanced Double Breast
Pump. The only complaint I have is that the carrying case is rather ugly…its
old-lady beige and is not disguised to look like a briefcase or anything. I’ll
take it though if it means we get a $450 breast pump for free!
So, pregnant women of America – call your insurance company and
see if they will do this for you! It’s just another great way to alleviate some
of the cost of having a kiddo!
