Avent Avent makes a lovely breast friendly pump system. I used the handheld, manual pump and recommend it highly for occasional pumping. They now have single and double electronic pumps.
Medela Medela makes a powerful, reliable electronic pump. Almost every baby store carries Medela parts and accessories, making it easy to maintain.
Recommended Baby Products: Maya Wrap Sling This is my favorite baby sling. It is adjustable and versatile. You can carry your baby inward or outward facing, on your front or on your back, and it holds up to 40 lbs, so you can use it for many years.
Phil and Ted's Most Excellent Baby Buggy Company (Strollers) Okay, they've changed their name to simply "phil&ted's", but I love their original name! They have compact jogging strollers with a rotating front wheel. The unique thing about their strollers, though is their "rumble seat" which allows you add a seat and carry two children, without adding a lot of bulk to the stroller. They also make great portable beds, carriers and carseats.
