How much did you pay for the pump? And where did you order it online? Actually I'm not really in the market for a pump right now (I'm using the Pump In Style from Medela) but a handsfree pump sounds interesting. Thanks!

In addition to the above items, I can also recommend having plenty of muslins/burp cloths handy for the inevitible (at least with my kids) bits of spit up milk.

I also found a breastfeeding pillow great for getting comfortable in the first few months.

I ordered from http://mommygear.com/breastpumps.htm

they were very good with everything and i had not problems with getting the shipment. The pump including shipping was about $2700 HK dollars which is what a pump in style costs in Hong Kong anyways I think. They also have some great nursingwear.

I received the shipment within a week of ordering.

You do need a adapter for the plug but the pump takes 120V-220V so you can charge it in HK with no problems.

I highly recommend it if you plan to BF and pump for a long time.

the Freestyle is rechargeable (no need for plugs or disposable batteries.) I really love this pump LOL.

Thanks wasabibunny! The Freestyle pump looks fantastic! (The Pump In Style is actually more expensive than that in HK - I think Mothercare and B2B were selling it for HK$4800!)

I was looking for a way to pump hands free and came across this:
http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/h...e-pumping.html

Cheap and easy, and works pretty well with some improvisation too!
