I can't help with the milk bank babe... last time I enquired up here, it just wasn't possible....

But I can with the pump!!!

I used a Ameda Purely Yours, elec double pump.

And it was used up to 12 times a day, for just over 10 months, and not one minutes of trouble with it.

It is extremely easy to use, has controls for how hard to suck, and how fast to suck, so you can put it on soft but fast suck to get letdown, then adjust to stronger but longer sucks... just like what baby does when baby is on the breast.... just awesome.....
