Diane,
I agree with Heather, Why pump? New moms call me all the time about when they
can start pumping. If BFing is going well I try to steer them clear of
pumping  too soon. It's just too much to take in and absorb and unnecessary
at this point.
Many times they listen , and many times they don't. If I can hold them off
for at least 3 weeks- 4 weeks  I feel better, but even that is too soon. It
depends on what their agenda is as well. If they are going back to work at 6
weeks(ouch) I can understand the urgency in learning the pump. Those moms I
have come in at 3-4 weeks to start the teaching.
