Oh yeah, I wanted to add that there are instances where pumping from day one is recommended, even ideal, but it's not recommended for the "average" nursing couplet. If you do need to pump, it is recommended to pump one side while baby nurses the other, since baby will be much better at triggering a letdown response than the plastic horn of the pump... and I have to agree wholeheartedly with Melissa about not gauging what your baby is getting by what you are able to pump. I have had oversupply issues in the past and overactive letdown (where baby can't keep up with the flow of milk, she would pop off and milk would just spray and spray across the room!), but I have never, ever been able to pump more than an oz or 2 at any time.
