There has recently been more and more attention paid to the option of exclusively pumping. Time.com ran an article recently called Mothers Who Opt for Breast Milk, Not Breastfeeding and Pumping it Up was recently played on some local ABC affiliates.

I am always worried about how the option of EPing will be presented. I have always been clear that I see EPing as an alternative to formula and not an alternative to breastfeeding. While that distinction may be narrow, I think it is important. But I do think it is wonderful that more attention is being brought to the fact that long-term expression of breast milk is possible.

Unfortunately, exclusivelypumping.com was not named in either of these stories! Need to remedy that.

Let me know if you read or see other news stories or articles about exclusively pumping. Let’s get the word out, but also let’s get accurate information to the women who need it.
