Oh Jane, 

If only your post had come in sooner, I could have saved everyone's  eyes 
by not sending mine! Yes, "initiation and volume-increasing" vs.  
"maintenance". Still even maintenance level pumps often fail when they take over  too 
much of the maintenance work ( babies who have been trained to, or  
self-select not to eat for 10-12 hours every night at young ages, whose moms  work 5 
days a week and there are not enough "milk removals" as Nancy M has  
written, etc...) 
 
Peace,
Judy
