My feature topic this time is all about breastfeeding.  Please find my picks for great products related to this subject under the shopping section.  Most doctors and healthcare professionals believe that breast is best when it comes to feeding your baby.  While not everyone is able to breastfeed, if you can, it is beneficial to at least attempt it.  But, my suggestion is to at least wait until you know if you will even have breast milk come in before buying a good breastpump, as some of the better ones can get costly.  My pick is the Medela Pump in Style Original (this is the one I purchased 2 years ago and still works great).  There are other variations to this style of pump, such as the Pump in Style Advanced.  There are slight variations among the styles, you just have to decide if the little “extras” (maybe an extra accessory, different style of carrying case, or one more button or mode) are worth the jump in price difference.  I personally am satisfied with what I have and did not feel it was worth the extra money for such slight differences.  All in all, the Medela line of products are a great buy, even if they are a little more than what you might want to spend.  I am a firm believer in “you get what you pay for”, and I did, which is wonderful.
