I didn't have any problems pumping with baby #2, but I also stayed home for 12 weeks after he was born so I was able to build up a supply. I don't know if I could return to work after 3 weeks. 6 weeks seems so short to me!
Which reminds me, my son recently had a horrible case of viral pinkeye (so the eyedrops were no help), and I ended up making warm compresses out of Chamomile tea bags. They worked like a charm. My Mom swears by Chamomile tea for everything- and I am finding out that she might be right!
