I was in a home of a pediatrician a few weeks ago and asked if mom had
rented a good breast pump and she said that she had it from her first
child. I expected to see a PNS. But it was a Lactina.
Her older child is 5 years old. I asked her about it and she said that she
rented it and "they never asked for it back." I don't know who "they" are.
Her present baby has a cleft lip and palate, so she will probably be using
the pump for a long time.
If you came upon such a situation would you tell her that it is "stolen"?
(Only kidding!) or would you say, "Those cost about $900 and you might want
to take it back after you are finished with it."
Put yourself in my place. What would you have done?
Chicken-like, I ignored the whole thing.
