I agree that direct breastfeeding is best...however: What about moms who
choose to work?  I was taught a long time ago that before returning to work
a woman should get a "running start" on her supply so she can relax that
first week back or so. I know most moms have too much milk at first...and
that babies "catch up" with supply around two weeks (usually.) For a mom
that is returning to work...storing this milk is good insurance that she
will not need ABM.

My goal is "As much milk as possible for as long as possible!"
