Most families order a breast pump before they understand what makes one a good fit for their body, their goals, or how they plan to feed.

Insurance covers a pump — but the order form doesn't tell you which one to choose. A friend's recommendation may not apply to your situation. And the differences between pump types, flange sizes, and suction patterns are not obvious until you've seen them side by side.

This class is designed for families who are still in the decision-making stage. You'll see and handle different pump types, learn what the key variables actually are, and leave with enough information to make a confident choice — before your baby arrives.

Taught by an IBCLC with clinical experience helping families navigate pump selection, this is practical prenatal preparation — not a product demonstration.

What You'll Learn

  • How different pump types compare — hospital grade, double electric, wearable, and manual — and when each is most appropriate
  • What pump features actually matter and which ones are marketing noise
  • How flange sizing works and why the wrong size affects output before you even start
  • What to consider based on your feeding goals — building a freezer stash, returning to work, or supplementing at the breast
  • How to navigate your insurance benefit and avoid common ordering mistakes
  • Which pumps tend to perform well for specific situations and which ones have known limitations

Who This Class Is For

  • Expecting families who need to choose or order a pump through insurance and are not sure where to start
  • Parents planning to return to work who want to choose a pump suited to pumping outside the home
  • Families who want to see and handle different pump types before committing to one
  • Anyone who wants evidence-based guidance on pump selection before their baby arrives
