Have to second Kathy's opinion on this one. Absolutely one of the worst
pumps I've ever worked with. Not one report of success out of about a dozen
moms.

soon,

pump,

Alice,
I've had probably two dozen mothers over the last few months who have
called
my practice with complaints about the First Years electric breast pump.
The
majority reported pain with pumping and very little milk received for their
efforts.  It is not one that I would recommend, IMHO.
