Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

When my son and daughter were born premature, the WIC offices where I lived provided a motorized Medella pump supplied from a medical supply store. Obviously this was very good. I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

"Specific" Parenting Plan in Divorce Decree

I am preparing with my lawyer, the final decree and I WANT to be very specific. My ex and I do try to cooperate with each other when making joint decisions about our children but they are young.

Does anyone have specific agreements that they would be willing to share with me?
