I work at the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention  (The CDC) as a
Lactation consultant. I had one of the moms call Medela and identify
herself as Dr..from CDC/ and epidemiologist to discuss the sharing of Pump
In Style Pumps. Basically, Medela referred her to a someone who said Medela
had not done ANY studies. They could not prove that it would be harmful in
any way. Their concern was the potential lawsuit. This Physician is using a
"used" pump. Her question was...if it is so contaminted what about using it
with her OWN children?

BY THE WAY.........There are two Patti Carroll's on this list. Are there
any others with duplicate names???? I am NOT nursing TWINS!!!!!!
