I think it would be a perfect opportunity."

I was thinking about this comment, not to single out Nancy, but b/c it concerns me in general. I do not consider pumps/bags, etc to be "breastfeeding supplies". I consider them pumping supplies. There are so few women anymore who think that a pump is not essential to breastfeeding and I think we may well perpetuate this myth ourselves. While it is more likely that mothers who see us may have use for pump supplies or other equipment than other moms, I still think we might want to reconsider our terminology here.
