Darillyn,

You said you saw the ad for the Playtex double electice pump and wondered 
whether it may help moms trying to induce lactation.  So, I went to the Playtex 
site and viewed a video on the pump. (http://playtexbaby.com/embrace)  It looks 
similar to the Avent hand pump too, but says it has a wide opening which did 
look to be a larger diameter than that one.  I wish moms could try pumps 
before buying as one doesn't really know how lindividual mo will respond to certain 
pumps; that part is frustrating when moms ask about which pump is best.  I' 
too' am always interested in finding whatever it takes to increase supply for 
moms.  And as an aside, I recently have had a couple of moms for whom Medela's 
glass flange has been the answer to greater comfort and milk yield from 
necessary pumping.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Playtex offering a sweepstakes on this site 
for food delivery and cleaning service for new moms; at least it's better 
than other freebies of the artificial stuff.  (This may have come up before on 
Lacnet).  Of course, i'm not about to broadcast this sweepstakes to moms-to-be 
for ther's always a catch to freebies and so on and so.  Just think it was more 
positive than most.
