[blparent] Breast Pumps

[Dena Wainwright]

Jessica:
Go to:
www.diapers.com
Go into the "Feeding and Nursing" section
Under that, you will see two products:
1. Easy Expression Bustier.
2. Made by Moms Pumping Band
Diapers.com has next-day shipping for us, so if you order today, you'll get 
it tomorrow.
Also, since we are very close to each other, please let me know if I can 
help with anything. I have a lot of baby-wearing gadgets if that's something 
you're interested in, and don't already know how to do.
Best,
Dena

>> Hello everyone,
>>
>> I plan to breast feed my new baby and this time around I'm going to 
>> invest
>> in a really good pump.  I had one that was sort of middle of the line and
>> it
>> never really worked very well for me.  So, for those of you who have
>> pumped
>> a lot, I'm wondering what you used and what you liked.  I know everyone 
>> is
>> different, but I'd love some suggestions.  I heard some great things 
>> about
>> the Pump In Style when Austin was born, but since that was 3 years ago 
>> I'm
>> just wondering if it's still being made and/or if there's something 
>> better
>> that has come along in the mean time.

>> Thanks for any help.
