"I want to ask another question.  Has anyone had any
experience with the First Years double pump?  It is
selling at Walmart for about $150.00  I am assuming
that it is a terrible pump, since none of thier other
products have met our standards, but I thought I
should ask about specific experiences before passing
judgement."

I have had personal experience with women coming to me after using this
pump and claiming they "can't get a drop of milk." I subsequently hooked
one of them to a lactina and she pumped 2-3 ounces per side. Another mom
switched to the Isis and got an easy 2 ounces. In all honesty, I can say
that the pump you are asking about is one of the worst on the market. It
appears virtually useless. When a woman tells me she has it I suggest
she return it ASAP, before opening it!
