Dear All -
Since the thread has been going around about "formula" company pumps, I
thought you all might find this interesting. My co-Leader sent it to me. The
author is "just" a mother - but this is her "take" on this. Permission was
given by the original author to share with you.

<<Okay, maybe I'm paranoid and turning into a militant breastfeeder, but I
have to tell <<you this story.
<<I belong to an org. called Home Testing Institute. They send me samples
and <<surveys and stuff to test here at home all the time. When they found
out I am <<nursing, they asked me to evaluate a breast pump. I said sure, so
they sent it. (I <<use a Pump in Style daily).
<<The pump was a manual, and guess what was on it? The Ross pharmaceuticals
<<bear. The "breastmilk storage bottles" had Isomil and Similac on the lids.
I <<assembles the pump and first it took forever to figure out and then
when I finally <<did, it HURT! When they called to ask me what I thought
about the pump, I raked <<it over the coals. ONe of the questions they
asked, however, got me thinking. <<They wanted to know how likely I would be
to use this pump if I received it free in <<the hospital after the birth of a
baby.
<<So now I'm wondering, suppose I'm a new mom who wants to bf and I get this
<<AWFUL pump free in the hospital, and of course when I use it it hurts and I
get <<nothing. So what might I do? Maybe feed my baby some of the formula
that I <<have no doubt will be packaged with the pump? Hmmmm. Gets you
thinking, <<doesn't it.
