I used this pump with my first child.  It worked, and I produced enough,
but then, my first was a great nurser and nursed constantly when I was
home.  And I was a good pumper, and probably would have done fine
regardless.  I was also driven, the pump was free (yes, used, a friend's
pump) and I didn't know any better.  I also pumped on the bathroom
floor, just so you all can see how far I've come.  I would NOT recommend
it to anyone who might have supply issues or who is not very driven to
breastfeed.  I would recommed it for people who pump occassionally, a
couple of times a week or less.  In retrospect it was probably very hard
on my breast tissue, it doesn't really cycle (unless it's changed in 8
years, which is possible), instead the woman is supposed to cycle it
themselves by putting a finger over a hole and then moving it...

>Does anyone have experience with the Nurture III breastpump?  I have a mom who has purchased one in anticipation of returning to work and wants to know if it will be adequate.  According to the literature it does up to 25 sucks per minute.  I thought I had heard/read that 40-60 was better for maintaining milk supply when pumping frequently but I can't find any documentation now.  A large discount store has recently begun carrying the Nurture III so I am sure to get this question again.  I would love to hear of any personal experiences using this pump.
