Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 I could never get much milk from a pump and I have plenty of milk, too - but I've been told that's what you can expect if you aren't using the really expensive type pumps. I finally packed away the pump and forgot the idea of ever using a bottle - he didn't want it anyway. Now if I need milk for his cereal or something, I just use my hand to pump, and it works great for me, although probably more tiring than a real pump.
