Breastpumps
Quote From: megazachWow, how's that for an assumption? Not everyone can afford a good quality breast pump, whether they work or not. And they shouldn't have to, since the very best food for a baby is absolutely free! Right on sister!!!!! I was extrememly fortunate to be given a very good breastpump ($200 plus)...but, some women cannot even afford the little manual ones, and those can take a super-long time to get any milk out...it's almost as bad as trying to hand express milk and any farmer could probably tell you that that's a chore (and with a newborn? that's a chore and a half)...Breastfeeding has all the advantages rolled into one, you don't even have to buy bottles...not to mention washing them and sterilizing them. I have everything she needs to survive with me at all times. I do pump milk because I work and I'm very lucky to have that option because I would hate for her to get cow's milk when my own milk is available and able to be given to her in my absence.
