Yes, thanks, Frank, and I'd echo Rachel's experience.

A recent query for me was from a mother who was lined up to get a 
local anaesthetic injection from her dentist.

He told her to wean, or to pump and dump for *4* days.

Happily, we have some good UK based online resources that help here, 
which the mother can be invited to share with her HCP.

But mothers *still* worry - unless they are very confident to start with.
