Dear Teresa, I'm not as sure as you that pumps are more efficient :-) A
mom, skilled at hand expression, with a decent let down seems to do a better
job to me. No equipment to clean or forget or drag around with you! I
always tell moms "learn how to hand express, you always have your hands with
you! It's a learned skill, just like BF is learned or typing or playing a
piano. Takes some practice and then it's a cinch." I had one young mom
(who was an intern) learn so well she just squirted it right into the
bottle!
The problem is basically cultural - oh my --- touch myself- there ?!
Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
