You may notice that I pack my text with hyperlinks, often I just put them right in the text without a separate line (like the word "hyperlink" above - watch for the tell-tale underlining). Many of these links http://www.breastpumpsdirect.com/ take you away from WorkAndPump.com. That's because I want to make you aware of the many valuable resources for good quality (and often evidence-based) parenting advice. (Or sometimes I just want to show you something funny) Don't forget to bookmark WorkAndPump.com in your Internet favorites!
Enjoy this website! Check back often, as it will be expanding and changing all the time.
