Re: Breast Pumps......

Is it hard to get pregnant a second time if your breastfeeding the first baby? Can u breastfeed one child while preggers with another?

You defiantly can get pregnant while breastfeeding. You dont have to have your AF to get pregnant, just have to ovulate. And breastfeeding doesnt stop ovulation. I think you can still bfed while pregnant, but my OB told me to stop when I decided to get pregnant again b/c breastfeeding makes your uterus contract.

Re: Breast Pumps......
I have the Lansinoh Electric breast pump. I love it. You can pump one breast at a time, or do both at the same time. The speed and suction are both adjustable, which is a great feature. Also, no milk goes into the tubing at all which makes it very easy to clean.
I read a lot of reviews on different pumps, and this one got great reviews, as did the Medela, but this one is not as expensive.
I also have the Avent Isis (manual) which is good too, but not for pumping multiple times a day IMO.

Re: Breast Pumps......
I had a Medela PISA and loved it! (Backpack style as well). It's electric and double pumping saved a lot of time. I also can't tell you the countless number of times I had to pump in the back of my car when taking road trips and driving late at night  The car adapter I purchased later was a lifesaver!
