[quote=Anonymous]I am the 1343 poster from Tuesday.  I wanted to add about the whole giving a bottle thing.  It was dreadful with both my kids -- the first because I waited too long to give a bottle and the second, not because I waited too long, but because I became complacent because she was so good about taking a bottle so early.  Be consistent in giving a bottle every other day after the baby is nursing well.  We gave no. 2 her first bottle at 2 weeks, which turned out to be a god send when I had to go to work for a day during leave.

Yes, I forgot between kids how much nursing hurts after you come home from the hospital.  Sore nipples plus painful let down curled my toes.  I also forgot about the uterine contractions that hurt more than my pre-epidural contractions during labor.  It all subsides in a few days, and if it doesn't, call a lactation consultant.

I have my old handy, 2005 model pump-in-style that is effective for pumping one or both sides.  I am not sure what PP is talking about.

I have two pumps - one I use at home and one I use at work.  I don't remember why I bought pump no. 2 in 2005 with my first, but I am glad I have it.  It's a Playtex model that isn't even made anymore.  It's more discrete than my PIS, so I just leave the pump apparatus on my kitchen counter.  If you don't know what is it, you'd never guess.
