Not exactly a question you'd expect from a guy

[sraun]

kosmickitten is about sixteen weeks along now. She's starting to think about dealing with a baby - they're doing baby registration, and she's pondering breast pumps. She thinks she'll be an occasional user - she's not working, and by the current schedule she'll be done with college. So, what she wants is the capability to leave enough milk with bernesemntdog, a sitter, or a relative, that the baby will do fine and she can go do something away-from-baby for a few hours. So, she's looking input. Electrical vs. manual. Any specific brand/model recommendations or dis-recommendations.

If you really want to write a monologue in comments here, go ahead and I'll forward it to her. If you'd like to have a dialogue with her, leave me contact info and I'll have her get back to you.

I'll answer any questions that she has, but I'd also refer her to the lactation consultants (specialized nurses) who are likely available at whatever hospital she's planning on delivering at, and also would suggest contacting the La Leche League, with the understanding that some of the members thereof can be "milk Nazis."
