pumping question for BTDT moms....
....I am planning on breast feeding our baby. should i register for a breast pump or wait and see what my needs are? i would like to pump so my DH can do some feedings and Im not planning on going back to work for a few months so I won't need it right away for that. Everything I read says go for the medala PIS, but should i wait or just get it now?......TIA!!

If you get it now, you can use it to help with engorgement. I have the PIS Advanced and highly recommend it.
If you buy it and for whatever reason you decide not to use it, you can return it as long as it is UNOPENED> Once you open it- it's yours forever.

i wasn't 100% sold on breastfeeding before i gave birth - i figured that i would give it a try and see what happened. turns out i love it and want to continue, so i bought a breast pump yesterday (medela pis advanced) and plan to use it for engorgement at first and then to pump when i introduce bottles.

I would suggest trying not to use it for the first week or two, until you can establish a supply. It's nice to have, so I say get it now!!! Look into prices though! The hospital where I delivered had the pumps over $50 less than in the store. I got the Medela pump in style Original and absolutely love it!!!!!!
