Also a tip from my husband, encourage your wife to breastfeed, it means YOU don't have to get up in the night!!

Great Plan!!!

I used one of those too, but not straight away. To be honest I really enjoyed doing it (- after the initial agony!) and Dad felt a bit left out!
Oh God I'm coming over all broody again

Easy enough to put her off the breast-pump - start comparing it to how cows are milked

Motorised or "hand pump" ? The motorised ones can be really noisy.

Good luck with it, "breast is best" as they say.

"Breast pump" - two words that conjour a myriad of images.

I can understand why you're happy about this, your first child is a pretty scary prospect (as well as costing a fair bit) so feeling that you're financially more secure is a big plus.

Congratulations
