Pumping has always been scary and very foreign to me. Now awaiting my first kiddo I know I will need to get more comfortable with the idea:) My plans are zero formula, so a pump are also in my plans. I know I am a little late but I just saw this on FB!

I exclusively pumped for my first daughter for one year and now I’m pumping for my 7 month old daughter while I am at work. I love that I am able to provide her with breastmilk even when I am at work. I recently found out about the Hygeia and would love to try it out.

I pumped for 19 months at work for my daughter. I pumped in the morning and when I came home from work. I plan to pump at work for the second one that is going to be born in December. I am going to try and pump early because I know establishing a good supply early is a good key to keep Breastfeeding going. I “Liked” the FB page. I don’t see a “fan” button but I am going to keep looking!

I plan to pump for…. myself! Pumping means my husband can feed the baby and I can sleep sometimes! Or have sometime to myself! And allow me to breastfeed and still go back to work? “Pump” to me means “freedom” and the sign of the times that husbands and family can help even more. It expands the idea of “it takes a village to raise a baby”.

I pump for my little Arthur, who will be 8 weeks tomorrow! I am currently borrowing a friend’s pump, but she will be needing it back when she has her 2nd baby. When I go back to work in January I will need an electric pump. Fingers crossed!

I would just add that for those who can pump successfully, and can pump a little extra, milk banks are a great way to give back! Some women would love to pump but their bodies can’t so it’s something to consider! When my daughter started solids I pumped to keep my milk supply up to donate, while she was actually nursing less.

I pump and nurse for my bouncing baby boy! I look for quality when I buy my next pump. Mine broke! It’s worth spending money on a good pump. Lesson learned! The best resource for breastfeeding is talking to other mommies and support groups. Thanks

My husband and I are expecting our first child on Nov. 19th and we plan on breastfeeding. I know that sometimes pumping will be necessary and very helpful for my husband to be able to help out with some of the feedings! I would be thrilled to have such a high quality pump that would last us for years to come!

When someone mentions pumping, I think of pumping iron! But I have just started pumping milk more intensely lately because I am going back to work. I would like to give my daughter breast milk until she is at least 6 months old. It’s getting difficult though because I only nurse her in the morning and bottle feed her the rest of the day :/ This would be an awesome gift to have! VeRY HelpFul :)

I pump for my 7 week old daughter. We are having some feeding/weight gain issues and are renting a pump from the hospital to give her supplements.
