Funny that the hospital I delivered in really pushed the Amada pumps (if you requested a pump in room, it was one of those; they handed out free Amada hand pumps; their little lactation store was chock full of Amada gear with only some Medala products off in the corner). I really like the sound of the Hygia pumps, but they're bloody expensive. I ended up using an old Medala from a friend (yes, that's a no-no, but she doesn't have any diseases and I bought all new parts), and am not in love with it. But, free is free. Glad to hear you love your Playtex so much! As an aside, I have a pack of those 3oz Good Start bottles and a can of mix from the hospital. I haven't needed any formula at all, and am getting ready to donate it to a shelter (along with the enfamil and similac samples that came in the mail). I'd be happy to pass anything along to you if you'd use it. (holy long comment there, Batman!) Gah, sounds like you need to find a new LC if you ever need another consult.

I was a medela user, but I wouldn't dismiss another pump if I hadn't used it before. As for making time to pump, I used to get up and pump at the time the overnight feedings would happen (after the baby slept through the night). My body kept producing overnight and I had plenty in the morning for the first feeding. Yes, it was harder to be sleep deprived a little longer, but after a bit, I pretty much did it in my sleep. :) Good for you.
