Just wanted to chime in on what the PP's have said. I rented the hospital pump for a month and was glad that I did not buy one because it turned out I was not producing enough milk and what I was producing my DS could not keep down (GERD) and I had to switch him to Enfamil Gentlease which has partially broken down proteins so it made it easier for him to stomach.
My DS is 17 months old and we let him watch about 10 mins of the wiggles in the morning while we get ready and make his lunch. We also let him watch about 20/30 mins of wiggles or word world or classical baby while we make dinner. My husband and I both work and both get ready at the same time so we let him watch the tv so we know he is not getting into something he should not be while we are getting ready or cooking. DS loves to dance and he gets up and dances with the tv - fine by me!
I actually have an appt with Dr. Bajaj in an hour. I LOVE her! She delivered my son via c-section in March of 2007 and will be delivering my daughter in October. I had initially seen Dr. Newman but after talking to Dr. Bajaj I felt more at ease. Yes, sometimes it's hard to get past the fact that she is young and cute and can talk to you like one of your girlfriends but she has always been 100% supportive of all of the decisions I have made with my birth. I switched from Dr. Brandon Burke in Chevy Chase (who I really loved as well but he stopped taking insurance) and was worried I would not find another doctor I liked but have been very happy with Dr. Bajaj and Newmann (who assisted in the c-section).
