I work at the local high school in the teen parent and childcare
program.  I speak to the teens about breastfeeding.  I also actively
help those who chose to breastfeed at the hospital, at home, and once
they return to school.

Today I got great news ... We're getting the use of a hospital grade
pump at the teen parent program!  This past fall I approached the local
hospital for the use of a hospital grade pump and they have agreed (with
the help of our local Medela rep) to place a pump at school for the teen
moms to use.  I am hoping this will help make it easier for the moms to
continue to BF while returning to school with their children (placed in
the childcare program on campus).

In a few days I will be meeting with the hospital to line out the
particulars.  Can you think of any issues I may need to keep in mind?
The hospital already gives all moms a Medela hand pumping kit so each
teen will have her own kit to start with.  Anything else (mundane or
not) we may need?

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
