>>If I knew then what I know now, I would have pumped and then finger     fed with a lact-aid.  I think someone should invent a "breast     extender" for just this situation. Some sort of soft flange  attached   to a tube that has a nipple end. Baby sucks while  mom does breast     compression.  This may not  have worked for me because my children   never had a bottle, but it sure would have been easier on my back.<<

I saw a picture of something like this in "Breasts,Bottles, and Babies:
A History of Infant Feeding". It was designed for discrete feeding and
consisted of a long tube from the breast to the baby. However, doing
breast compressions in Victorian times would probably not be viewed as
discrete.
