[quote=Anonymous]Not sure what hospital you're going to but I had a great experience with the LCs at Washington Hospital Center. They're LACTATION consultants not BREASTFEEDING consultants. They are also there to teach you how to pump, give you tips on how to increase supply (via pumping!), etc. Just tell them what you do and do not want up front and reiterate it. Ask your support people to back you. A agree with a few other pps - as someone who has breastfed, pumped, and combofed I think going straigh to just pumping without any real experience for what that means is nuts. Breastfeeding is much better than pumping in the very early days and weeks when baby eats so often. The pump time + feed time means you will get so little sleep. I would either go striaght to breastfeed + formula to sumplement/give you a break when someone else does a feeding or just go 100% formula from day 1. [/quote]
