I realize pumping is a luxury we should relish, as it gives us the freedom to work and do anything else besides breastfeed.  Our mothers didn't have pumps, so they had to either give us formula or be tethered to us at all times.  Now we can pump when we need to, and someone else can feed our babies breastmilk from the bottle at 3am or while we work. But pumping is itself a chore, and it takes just as much time as nursing, if not more.  (Who ...

I just had a baby! An adorable girl named Elena.
