BRAVO Michelle Scott!!!  I also suggest that moms return their useless, mass
marketed, over priced --- at any price -- breast pumps and insist that their
money be refunded.  Many of us do this and STILL the manufacturers don't get
the hint.  Probably not breastfed.

From what I understand, the Little Hearts pumps were made to be free standing
-- meaning that they do not interconnect with other pumps.  The manual pump
is not an attachment for an electric pump nor can a motor be attached to make
it a "mini" electric.   The jury is still out.  I have encountered only one
mother who has purchased the Little Hearts manual pump.  She like it and the
price tag.

It was a privledge to be at the Tri State Breastfeeding Advocates' seminar in
Cincinnati with speakers Jack Newman and Tom Hale.   Thank you Drs. Newman
and Hale for sharing your insight and wisdom as well as teaching some of us
not so but sort of old dogs new tricks.  And a special thank you to Dee Keith
and all those who worked on this event for a wonderful day.  It was very well
done!
