Choose your rental and then choose the duration for your rental. Your billing schedule will begin once you pick up your rental from The Breastfeeding Center. Each rental will have a $30 deposit, which you will receive once your return your rental back to us (considering there is no damage to the rental). Depending on your rate you will be charged weekly, monthly or every 3 months.

The deposit covers additional unforeseen rental time. If the rental is returned on time, in clean condition, and undamaged, the deposit will be refunded. If the rental is less than 1 week late the deposit will be forfeit to cover that additional time. Rentals returned more than 1 week late will need to be brought up to date through the final return date, either before, or at the time they are returned.

No, pump parts are for the individual user. If you do need parts for the pump you can purchase the full Symphony Kit, purchase individual Medela parts, or purchase Spectra pump parts depending on the rental you choose. If you have any questions regarding which pump parts you need, please feel free to text or call us at (202) 293-5182.
