Just a warning tho...the crying thing only works once, MAYBE twice with the hubby...after that, it just makes them angry! Use it wisely!!! LOL With that said, will I be able to purchase my pump, covered by insurance BEFORE the baby arrives, or will I have to rent until then??? 1year on regular protocol.

To be honest, the insurance company didn't ask if I had a baby, LOL... just "get a script and give it to the medical supply store"... so I did. Hmm... I will have to save up the crying then. Until I "really" need it, lol... Thanks for the advice, lol.
