Can someone satisfy my curiosity? Maybe I'm getting the wrong impression, but is pumping popular in the States? Mostly among working/studying mothers? Moms of preemies? Any official statistics or anecdotes, impressions will do. Sadly, most women here, if they have to pump for one reason or another, wean rather quickly. There is zero contact between those who recommend pumping (doctor or nurse), the people who "rent" pumps (a national charitable organization- actually, the pumps are loaned out against a deposit), and me. Yes, I hear you, and no, there is NO WAY that I can get involved in renting pumps as a business venture. Just curious about the American way of life. We in Israel have a loooonnnnng way to go.
