Is it wrong to sell a used breast pump?

Question

So i was looking on this sight thats like ebay but for my community and i have seen lots of breast pumps for sale that were obviously previously used. Me and a friend are supposed to throw a garage sale soon and i was wondering if i boiled mine and sterilized it because i barely used it, is it wrong to sell it?

Answer 1

if its a electric breast pump that you can purchase the part where is touches your breast then yes its okay to sale it for reuse.. but if its manual pump that you just purchased for 40-50 bucks then no.. well at least i wouldnt...  

Answer 2

I don't think it's necessarily wrong, but I wouldn't buy one ;). If someone wants it, then more power to them. Try selling it and if it doesn't work then oh well. Maybe you'll have another baby and need it. It's worth trying.

Answer 3

No way is it wrong.  Not every new mom can afford to buy new stuff, that's why secondhand stores are so popular.  WIC and the La Leche League recommend getting used ones if you can't afford a new one.  Do someone a favor and sell it.  Just make sure it's very clean.

Answer 4

You need to be able to detach the part that connects to your nipple.

Answer 5

i personally would not buy a used one ...
