Talk:Breast pump

message: Someone removed the link to Medela.com, yet kept the link to breastpump.com? That's just nuts. I have been an LC in Chicagoland for close to 8 years and have never met anyone who used the foot pump from breastpump.com. Most women use a Medela or an Ameda pump for home use.
I am going to add the link back to Medela.

thread_title:  External Links to breast pump manufacturers 

message: As a LC I frequently visit Cerean.net as it's the only site on the net that talks openly about breast pump products, manufacturer policies and dealer information. Where else can you find the wholesale prices of pumps without being a dealer?
So, I changed the link back to the home page a few days ago - now it was changed back to the insurance page. I read the reason about the site not being changed since September 2005, but that was only the 'news' section. It seems they moved the content and links to the home page which is updated several times per month.
What is the policy of external links and the breast pump categroy here on wiki? 
All the general links are commercial sites that sell products (except Cerean). Maybe I'm a bit sensitive at being edited, but it seems that as far as non-biased breast pump information goes Cerean is the only one that will talk openly about bad products or policies, yet we are not sharing that information with visitors.

thread_title:  External Links 

message: I removed the following link from the "External links" section because it is (an informational page from) a commercial site that seems to duplicate information provided by the other noncommercial links.  Review by someone more familiar with the topic appreciated. Jackollie (talk) 06:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Edward Laskin (b. 1885) did not invent the breast pump, nor did L.O. Colbin in 1863, since the USPTO issued patent # 11135 to O.H. Needham for a breast pump in 1854.

message: The info regarding open vs closed systems ends with the statements: "There are no studies comparing the open versus closed system design. Most information is marketing materials without studies to back them up." For one thing, claiming "no studies" is independent research in itself, but then the second sentence says "most... without studies...". Either the first claim of "no studies" is correct, or the second claim? Finally, the reason that so few studies are available is because the difference in parts that encounter contamination are well documented. Basically, the issue is that Open System gets bacteria in certain parts, including the motor, that do not get contaminated in Closed Systems. In both types, the contaminated must be cleaned, whilst the Closed System gets contamination in fewer parts. According to a link on fda.gov, only closed system breast pumps can be used by multiple users. I feel like we should remove these two statements, because they are uncited and self contradictory, and replace them with the FDA info. Any reasons to keep them?
