I think it's fair to say that most people find out about this place through word-of-mouth but on the off-chance that you haven't heard about The Pump Station in Santa Monica, listen up. Wendy Haldeman and Corky Harvey are registered nurses and about 20-30 years ago they started The Pump Station as a place for new mothers to rent breast pumps. This place has grown into the quintessential go-to place for all things having to do with newborns and breastfeeding.

My wife and I were introduced to this place by her OB/GYN when we first moved here (and we were 6 mos. along with our oldest). We took a breastfeeding class, and my wife found it very helpful. The consultant was quick to point out what books were helpful and what ones to avoid, and what products to consider. The biggest thing my wife (still) goes to The Pump Station for is the nursing bras. They're not cheap, but they are very comfortable and very well made (she swears by them). They also have all the latest diaper bags, changing pads, and other accoutrements.

And because the owners are registered nurses, in a pinch, we are able to call them with questions about breastfeeding or breastfeeding products and my wife is always assured that she was getting sound advice. So, although you may be spending an extra dollar or two on the gear, just remember to take advantage of their expertise and ask them questions.
