Breastpumps are far removed from infant formula. Breastfeeding is the market
competitor to infant formula, ergo formula companies can never actually
promote breastfeeding.

Without breastfeeding, breast pump companies would go out of business. Breast
pump companies WANT women to give their babies breastmilk.
