Dear Denise,

Is this mom using a soft flange pump?  White River makes a kit that attaches
to other manufacturer's pumps, and claims (for their own double pump)to
produce prolactin levels equivalent to breastfeeding.  You can see their info
on the web at http://www.whiteriver.com/ .  I think (but don't know) that Medela
has a similar product.
