Is an expensive breast pump worth it? I need breastfeeding advice?
I can buy a brand new Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump online for $228 total, this includes shipping and tax. It sells at Babies R Us for $319 + taxes.
When my baby is 3 months I plan to go back to work 6 hours a day and I want to pump twice during my work day during my two 15 minute breaks.
Do you think it’s worth it to buy this pump since I will be a working mother? I am a first time mom so I need advice about breastfeeding when you are working.
Here is the website if anyone else is interested:

Yes, you need a GOOD pump if you are going to be working and pumping. You want something along the lines of the Medela PIS or the Ameda Purely Yours. Or you want to rent a Medela Lactina.
There is a lot of breastfeeding info at http://www.kellymom.com as well as a section on pumping.
