What kind of pump are you using? Can you afford a hospital grade rental? A quality electric pump should not be giving out after 8 weeks - many moms pump for long periods of time either because they have a preemie in the hospital or because they work (or are simply exclusive pumpers) - these women are not buying new pumps every 2 months.

I feel like I've missed some major information about why you're pumping. You do know that babies are more efficient than pumps at extracting milk, yes?
