>I for one find it very difficult to understand why
a woman would WANT to pump unless she HAD to. Just the time and
effort needed I would think overwhelming to a new mother. Does
anyone have an explanation for this phenomenon? <
Believe it our not a lot of women think pumping is easier than nursing. Don't
ask me why but I think it has something to do with detached parenting and
feeding equals love. I can't tell you how many moms rent pumps so dad can
feed the baby. (Maybe we should having a discussion on inducing lactation in
men. Just kidding ;-)  )
