In an ideal world, breast pumps would be covered by the Code (in all 
countries) and not allowed to be advertised or sold directly to mothers. 
Most parents that receive a pump as a gift or purchase one from a Baby/Toy 
shop do not read the instructions and have no idea how to use it properly or 
appropriately.  The sale of these items via these outlets is huge and I 
can't see pump companies changing their marketing plans.  One common 
solution for breastfeeding problems is the bottle - another now seems to be 
the pump.

I do have pumps to hire (as a convenience as it's not easy to find them 
here).  However, when parents phone for a pump I often spend time 
counselling re breastfeeding issues and discovering that the pump is *not* 
the solution they thought it would be!
