< It seems to me that where sanitation is a challenge, like where there
is little personal space for washing up or washing and sterilizing
bottles, then pumps are just one more item that would need adequate
cleaning in order to be safe.>

I agree with your point that sanitation is an issue and I would was not
advocating a mom pumping when she was able to directly nurse her baby.
My thoughts behind handing out pumps were to help women who were
separated from the babies maintain a milk supply, to help induce
lactation if a baby was unable to latch or if the situation was safe, to
collect milk for babies that were separated from their mothers.
