My only suggestion is on the bra question.  I've been very
happy with the Goddess Model 510, an all nylon & lycra
number, that provides excellent support for my 42 G bust.
It has a very nice plastic clip that can be operated with
one hand, at least to undo - with breasts as large and
pendulous as mine, I usually needed an assist from my
other hand to lift up the cup to close ;-).   I got mine from
Creative Woman, in California.  Their phone is (818)
358-6216.  Take it from me, I tried a lot of nursing bras
before this one, and it is the only one that could really
hold me up.  OTOH, I am also fat enough that underwires
were out because they dig into my "spare tire," and this
woman might be better off with one of the underwire bras
from Motherwear.

When is someone (no, not me, sorry) going to do a nursing
bra FAQ?  This was just a topic on Parent-L, too.
