To Breastfeeding Moms

I have two sons that I chose to use formula with, I'm at peace with that choice. I'm very uncomfortable, however, about doing any breastfeeding in public. No offense, but I think it particularly offensive when ladies choose not to cover up while breastfeeding in public, like at a resaraunt.

Walk me through it- how big of a pain would it be to just...

Other Bottle/nipple Options

I have used AVENT bottles on my two older children without any problem. My 2 month old will not take a bottle, and I am returning to work part time soon.

Ameda vs Medela Pump

I bought the Ameda pump and have only been able to pump a maximum of 1.5 oz with it, regardless of when I pump. I'm wondering if the Medela Pump N Style would pump more milk? Has anyone tried both pumps and noticed a difference in output?

Breastfeeding and Work

I just went back to work 1 month ago. I noticed that I haven't been able to pump as much at work and my breast milk is drying up. Any suggestions? I love breastfeeding my son and I really don't like supplementing.
