I bought it used...I have a Madela pump that I love. I bought it used from a friend of a friend to save money. It's not super loud. It makes kind of a wooshing sound. It usually takes me about 20 minutes. 15 to pump and 5 for the set up/clean up. In the beginning, you have to make time to pump. Otherwise, you'll become engorged and it is super painful. Your breasts will feel rock hard and then it will be difficult to pump and you may have to do it manually. I tried to make myself do it 3 times a day. Once in the morning, at lunch, and then in the afternoon. If you get yourself into a routine and have set times it will be much easier on you, and your body. <br />I try not to breastfeed in public as much as possible. I always try to plan our outings around when the baby needs to eat, especially when it comes to church. However, on occasion it happens. My mom bought me a Peanut Shell, there is also a brand called Hooter Hider, that is like an apron you wear around your neck to keep everything hidden from everyone else. I used it at home first to get the hang of it before going out. Anyhow, you can buy them at Babies R Us and it's a good idea to have one just in case. <br />Oh, I bought the Breastfeeding for Dummies book. It was pretty helpful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395152278616356180noreply@blogger.com
