Thank you for the harsh and helpful (2nd response) feedback. Might I add that I did not feel it necessary to go into great detail about the ins and outs of my discussion with this mom. I did inform her that I highly did NOT recommend passing it along to another mother,but I was trying to find a responsible way to "use" this useless pump. Thanks for the link. 

I also know that there is supposed to be the understanding and support of healthcare professionals, LCs, IBCLCs, and mothers that "No question is a dumb question."  I recall learning that in my first year of Nursing School and in my first education course to become an IBCLC. I will be sure to do more research on my own and encourage others to do the same before asking another "dumb" question here. Thanks for the support. 

With warm regards for the help,
Trish
