  Sorry,I am behind on posts, but wanted to comment on my experience with
bfar moms and pumping.  I have never had anyone bleeding or bruised from
pumping.  I have worked with several moms who have had reductions and all
have had better results with the Classic.  I did have a mom who had
purchased the Whittlestone when it first came out - about two or three years
ago.  She did not have good results with this pump at all, she could not get
much milk out, and subsequently her supply really dropped.  When I switched
her to the Classic her supply came up and she was eventually able to
exclusivelly breastfeed.  She ended up returning the Whittlestone and
getting a PNS.
