Have you ever seen a $400 Breast Pump???

No... Really?

That would be like a 1500Watt Genset.....

It would make a milk cow nervous!....

Reverse the flow and Babs would be jealous! :-D

Now you will all please shut up since none of you have actual experience
in this process whereas I nursed 3 children. Bob's reasons are bunkum. A
breast fed baby, when offered a bottle by his/her mother, will generally
reject the bottle because the real thing is present. Water can be offered
to a baby in a bottle by some other person and there will be some success.
The nursery nurses usually attempt to get breast fed babies to take water
in the hospital, especially if there's a chance of a high bili
count...Pumping is not a pleasurable experince whereas breastfeeding
is...pump[ing can be quite painful. Hand expressing is much better, even
though the yield is less. I was fortunate that when i was having my
children, a friend in my neighborhood was also having children and we both
breastfed. If there was some reason one of us had to be away, we would
take the other's baby. No need to pump. It's just as easy to nurse two
as it is one. You just have to be careful to replenish enough calories in
your system. $400 breast pumps. What a joke. Mankind has existed for
how long without mechanical devises to extract bodily fluids? He probably
loves his Orick, too.
