I'm glad to finally have something about breast pumps.  I still dream of the
day when there will be what I consider complete labeling of breast pumps.
Until that day . . . 

Where'd they get their info about bicycle horn pumps?  Lawrence says
something quite different from <Some experts discourage use of the bicycle
horn pump because they may be difficult to clean and dry.>  More like "The
dangers of this pump are legion . . . "  At least in my neck of the woods,
they're not even that easy to find (but not all that hard to find breast
binders :( ).

Subject: breast pumps info website

Got this from my midwife friend tonight:

A new consumer website on Breast Pumps was posted on March 27th by the FDA's
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).  The site provides
general information on breast pumps, and features an animation outlining how
breast pumps work.  Also included are links to the Devices@FDA listing of
FDA-cleared breast pumps, the MedWatch adverse events reporting system, FDA'
s medical device recalls website, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services Breastfeeding Helpline, and contacts for the Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infant, and Children (WIC).  This website is
the product of an effort that was initiated with the U.S. Breastfeeding
Committee.
