>> It can be a hard fence to sit astride, trying to make money with pump rentals and yet trying to keep moms and babies together and breastfeeding as much as possible!<< Bravo!! Kathy. Sometimes I think that our western :-( culture and some BF advocates have brought about the idea that you need *things* to BF. Some of my yuppie moms buy everything on the market. Believe me there's a lot of rental stations that will sell them everything they think they need. Have you seen the stuff in the pump co. catalogs? If a mom gets a pump antepartum isn't it like purchasing bottles and ABM? If it's there she'll use it when there's a problem instead of nursing or getting help-- just a thought.
