Not only pumps, but pump kits too! When I had a baby in the large N.Y.
hospital 2.5 years ago. They had pumps in postpartum ward. But no kits at
all. Did not have any kits at all in the hospital. So I could not pump. A
nurse told me vaguely "Yea, we need to order them. We keep forgetting...."
No wonder with this attitude I was an only nursing Mom on the whole busy
floor.
