6 Diane E. Perrone, RNCdperrone@mc.netAlgonquin, IL USABecause of the potential for harm to a mother from a mal-functioning breast pump or transmission of viruses through parts that can not be sterilized or replaced, the practice of using a single user breast pump by a second person should be banned.Registered nurse020103

10 Janet SImpsonIBCLC@breastfeedingnetwork.netSacramento CAI hope this works - used pumps sell like crazy on Craigslist too and it is a never ending irritation to talk to moms who have bought a used pump somewhere thinking that all they need to do is replace the kit parts...good luck!IBCLC, CIIM020103

19 Cara Drakedruidessemily@gmail.comMississippiYes, please ban the selling of used breastpumps. I know that they are expensive devices, but it is much better to pay money for one (or get a free one from your state's WIC program), than it is for your baby to be compromised!doula010203

23 Jessica Flores, CLCjessie_n_flores@yahoo.comCoshocton, OhioMy sister is a well educated pregnant woman and called me to "double check" if it was okay to use someone else's pump. When I explained the reasons as to why this was a HUGE no, she said, "I guess I never thought of that. Since there are rental station, I figured they were all the same and it was okay."Breastfeeding Peer Helper030203

26 Amy Onionsajonions@aol.ocmVancouver, WAThis is an unsafe practice and doesn't protect buyers from the possibility of contracting a disease from a used pump. Worse yet, there is not education that informs moms that there is a risk when using a previously used pump.RN, studying for the IBCLC exam010203

31 Jeanne Cygnus, IBCLCJeanne@CygnusLactation.comIllinois, USAPersonal breastpumps (unlike rental units), are in the same category as toothbrushes. They are meant to be used by ONE mother for her babies. The health risk of selling these on E-bay to mothers who may not be aware that they are putting their baby at risk is absolutely unacceptable.IBCLC, RLC030304

44 Mary Wachsmuthmary.r.wachsmuth@co.multnomah.or.usPortland, ORI agree with everything in the petition. Also, working for WIC, (a USDA program) we give out free breastpumps to the moms who are returning to work. Sometimes they try to sell the pumps, which is against the contract they sign, plus they won't be able to get an additional pump if they have any more children.Nutrition Assistant020103

50 Jeanette Panchulajpanchula@juno.comCaliforniaMothers using pumps that were used by other mothers get the impression that they have no milk - when the REALLY "tired" one is the motor of the pump! Contamination isn't the only danger - low milk removal leading to low self-assurance that you CAN make all the milk your baby needs is much worse!Lactation Consultant020203
