Breast Pumps - Making Life Easier

Mothers know the importance of breastfeeding, but in today’s modern life style, breastfeeding is not always possible or convenient. Mothers who go back to work have to be separated from their baby for most of the day, making breastfeeding difficult. Believe it or not, milk production is dictated by demand, and you can’t make it follow an exact schedule. So what’s convenient for your baby is not always convenient for you.

For the modern mom, a breast pump might make a world of difference and allow them to breastfeed for a longer period than initially possible. With breast pumps, larger volume of milk is released in a shorter time, as pressure is applied on the milk ducts. Other moms find that pumping milk is a good and useful way to release discomfort from engorged breasts. Breast pumping also stimulates milk production, increasing the amount of milk the breast produces for larger feed or storage.

During lactation, you will find that your breasts will occasionally leak milk. This is an indication that your breasts are full and that you should feed your baby or pump your milk for storage. Consider using breast pads to prevent the milk from leaking through your clothes.

You will also need breastmilk containers for storage of excess breastmilk, as these will come in handy when you’re not able to be with your baby when they need a feed. Storage containers that can be stored in the fridge and freezer make for convenient storage.

A breast pump can help increase the length of time a mother is able to breastfeed, and make it an enjoyable experience for mom, dad and child. With the milk stored away or placed in a bottle, dads can use this time to bond with their child and perhaps give mom a quick break!
