registering

[acline93]

So I just registered at babies r us, and I realize now that I'm about to be one very broke mama. Can you experienced mamas give me a list of the ESSENTIALS and what quantity you got of each and what you wish you had never got?

@Mommy2jayden
I'm with wic in Collin County.

I do however believe its only a rental and not to keep though. I was told its brand new though.

[meelahmii]

Oh that would be AWESOME!!

[acline93]

Most likely :)

[meelahmii]

I jus read your post about wic giving away a free pump....I jus signed up for it....and do they do it California??

[acline93]

WIC varies by state, so it's probably the same all through texas

[mommy2jayden]

What part of Texas I want to brestfeed and need a electric pump new not used

[acline93]

I know, I'm thankful for that. :)

[sarahkr]

I live in Texas and they provide you with a brand new duo electric pump.

[sarahkr]

About the electric pump- I read one if your recent posts about wic.. if you are on wic they will provide you with a pump after your baby is born, so that will also save you a few hundred dollars. :)

just remember ladies you will get alot of the stuff u need for the first year at the baby shower

[acline93]

ahhh I'm sooo excited now! I didn't want to have to have my family bring my baby to my breaks at work and school just so I could breast feed him lol

[baby2_on_the_way]

Electric, in Wisconsin, its brand new  you get one even if you sometimes supplement with formula, comes with a carrying case and you keep it forever! woohoo!

[acline93]

sweet. thanks!

[Shirano]

I looked it up online and South Carolina does give you a pump

[acline93]

lol I've heard the hand pumps are so hard to deal with. I'd rather just whip out my boob everywhere I go lol

[Shirano]

Electric and the one in Oregon is 300$

[acline93]

well hopefully WIC will provide something here, seeing as how they try to promote breast feeding so much. either way, I'm breast feeding.lol

[alyringy]

There was a place my wic nurse could refer me to but it was a hand pump and my mom said you don't even wanna mess w that lol

[Toriiee]

i believe electric if she said its worth $700 haha but who really nos

[acline93]

thanks yall! and is the pump that WIC provides a hand pump or electric? and I'm in south carolina, so I'll have to call the WIC office and see if they provide one, or at least a discount on one. I know you can buy pumps here from the hospital for a discounted price, and even though they change all the tubing and stuff, I really don't want a used pump for sanitary purposes.

[alyringy]

The pump w wic depends on where you live. Here in Illinois they don't do that. But check target I got an electric single one for 40$

[Shirano]

Wic does the same thing in OR one pump for all your pregnancies it's a super nice one too. Both my sis and sis in law have them and love them.

[Toriiee]

yu should ask them at yur next appointment.... the lady told me they really support breatsfeeding thats why they give them out... i honestly dnt no if every state does it  but she told me that
