...I, too, feel that some of our WIC population does not feel
they can have a successful breastfeeding relationship without
a breast pump...We are most cognizant of the fact that when
some Moms aren't able to pump a bottle full in a sitting,
some feel they don't have enough milk thus end up
supplementing.

Not just in WIC population! I wage the same battle everyday,
with college educated professionals and mothers who hail
from all corners of the earth. It is a '90s thing. Our
state-of-the-art pumps are a mixed blessing...I spend as
many hours talking people out of renting one as I do renting
them. :-(
The efforts you are making are so valuable.
