i have been b/f for almost 8 months now and have had little success with expressing.You may be lucky and be able to express milk quicker but just so you are warned sometimes it can take 30 mins just to get 1-2 oz !!.
Anyway I have posted a link to the NHS Direct website as there is some interesting stuff about b/f and how important skin to skin contact is with your baby - which you don't get with a pump.
Best of luck with your baby

We all got a bit heated on here a little while ago about breast feeding in public- so lets not start that debate again - but in answer to your question i do b/f in public.I do it descreetly and no one really pays any attention.I think you just need to pick your spot in cafes and restaurants and its really no big a deal.
When that warm bundle of newborn baby is placed in your arms you will do anything for them and if they need feeding you will just want to meet that need .
