Pumps & Flanges

The majority of families will pump as part of their infant feeding routine at some point or another. In our office, we have a large variety of breast pumps, flanges, and flange inserts to try before you buy. Different bodies will respond better to different levels of suction, different tempos, or different patterns. Some pumping people will prefer hard plastic flanges, some will prefer silicone flanges or inserts. Some folks need to lubricate and some don't prefer it. We'll help you find the best combination of pump, settings, and accessories, to help you collect your milk comfortably and efficiently. Just like with breastfeeding, pumping should not be something you have to tolerate, it should be completely comfortable. We'll help you find that magic fit.

St. Charles Lactation accepts donations of new or gently used breast pumps and new, unused pump parts or other feeding tools such as bottles, teats, feeding tubes, etc. These items are used for fittings or may end up in our freebie box for other parents to pick from if needed. 

In particular, we are currently hoping to add the following pumps to our collection although others not listed above would be great as well:
