[blparent] Breast Pumps

[Jessica Lucken]

Hi Dena,

I j ust ordered the pumping band, so I"ll let you know how it ends up
working.  Not sure if you used this website before, but it is not very
accessible with Jaws, but I made it through. :)

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
