I had a friend who's wife breast fed their baby. That I got used too pretty quick. The day I walked in and saw her milking herself I was a little shaken. But not as bad as when she walked out of the shower.

That sounds so inconvenient, Neo. I wonder whether "awhile" is a short time, and whether women who simply nurse the baby when and where the baby needs their milk nurse their babies longer, on average, that those who have to express or hide.

Are you aware that nursing a baby is a wonderful, beautiful experience, and that expressing milk is an unpleasant one?

Many women cry when it's time to wean their babies from the breast. No woman has ever cried when it was time to get rid of the pump.

You are suggesting a quite significant sacrifice of convenience and pleasure, for a nursing mother, on what seem to be at best trivial and at worst salacious grounds.
