I bought my wife a big ol’ ugly Sears Big Man recliner chair and the best-reviewed, most recommended breast pump that cost about half again more than the standard model.
The recliner went into our room, over her design-centered protests – I figured she (and I) got about 400 extra hours of sleep over the first year and a half while she was nursing because she was in a big, comfy chair that was safe.
The better breast pump saved her a bunch of hassles which the cheaper model – the one she picked out – would have caused.
As for a “push present” … she was damn happy when I showed up with a plate of nachos from a good mexican restaurant near the hospital once she was back in the room and our child was sleeping.
So was I.
