I agree - why is this a problem? If the baby's healthy and thriving, it
doesn't matter.  And why is she pumping? There is enough to do with a baby
three weeks old without trying to find the time for the hassle of pumping.
Where is the benefit? There are strong disadvantages, too - mothers start
to judge their milk supply by looking at the yield from pumping, not from
looking at the baby.....
