Richard,
The study you mentioned compared giving new moms breast pumps vs formula
samples in the discharge pack. I don't think anybody here would argue that a
pump is certainly preferable to formula in terms of the duration of bf. The
question at hand has to do with giving a pump vs NOT giving a pump. It would
be interesting to see a study comparing those two groups. Do you know of
such a study?
