AnnMarie- Congratulations on your precious son! I wanted to also recommend the Medela pumps. I had the "hospital grade" type- not sure what it's called. Anyway, you buy the bottles, tubing, etc. and then I rented the electric part from our hospital's medical supply store. Check in your area to see if you have that option. I paid $25 a month for it, but I used it at least 3 times a day while I was working and it took literally minutes to empty both breasts at the same time. It may cost more than you planned, but the convenience might make it worth it to you. Good luck! At Fri, 7 Jul 2000, AnnMarie wrote: >
