Interesting article about the effectiveness of hospital grade breast pumps in establishing milk supply.

Ameda Hospital Grade Breast Pumps

I love to see images of women breastfeeding, there is nothing more beautiful! This project by the Bill & Melinda Gate Foundation documents the breastfeeding initiative in Ghana. The images are precious!

I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to nurse, I had heard so many Mom's have trouble with it. Yes it was a challenge at first but after the first few weeks it's the easiest job in the world and the most rewarding. Having that time with your baby is so special. My daughter is 6 months old now, we recently started solids (fruits) and I don't know where we would be without nursing and having the support of the ladies here on this website. Thanks!

I had to share this article. I am appalled that in this day and age the woman was fired for taking breaks to pump milk and a court agreed it was not discrimination. At the same time, I love the sarcasm this writer has toward the whole thing. Shame on Isotoner/Totes. Their email is customeraffairs@totes.com should you wish to express yourself :)
