"the standard model breast pump, with a squeeze bulb on
one end" tends to damage breast tissue by cutting into
the breast.

The "model which consists of two concentric cylinders
with a tight gasket between them", I have found at garage
sales for anywhere between $8 and $26 (list is ~$22).

I have found that starting a nursing baby on a bottle is
easier if the person giving the bottle is:
  [in order of importance]
  not the mother
  not a nursing mother
  male
  the father (ideal)

Also, keep in mind that as soon as a baby is fed something
that is not breast milk (even water) his stomach lining
changes.  One of the results of this change is that he
cannot absorb as much of the iron in breast milk.
