For the Symphony Plus, you can search for locations on Medela’s website or click here to rent and have the pump shipped directly to you. These pumps are available to rent either from hospitals or other third-party retailers, which used to be quite annoying, but has become easier with digital/online technology. If you’re interested, it would probably be a Medela Symphony Plus (or maybe an Ameda Platinum) - both of which are no-frills, double-electric commercial-grade behemoths that are designed to be used by multiple users, so you will have to buy your own collection kit.

Given the changes in insurance and the availability of at-home double electric pumps these days, renting a hospital pump is not as popular as it once was - but it’s still an option and some may actually prefer it.

If you are planning on BF’ing, you will most definitely need a pump - even if it’s just a manual one.
