Breast pumps

Breast pumps have made breastfeeding so much easier and more convenient for working moms. Before the advent of good breast pumps, the term “breastfeeding” applied only to mothers feeding their babies at their breasts – to breastfeed, a mother had to continuously be with her baby. Now, with the use of breast pumps, women can breastfeed and still go back to work. This means that the baby can stay healthy and happily fed, and the mother can also stay healthy and working, making money for her family.

Of course, breast pumps do not only make it easier for women to go back to work, they also make it easier for women to maintain some level of independence overall. As much as a mother loves her baby, it is important she gets a little time to herself (or time spent with her husband and/or friends), even if this time is just once a week or once a month. Breast pumps ensure that a mother can have this time away from baby – by being able to express milk before she goes, she can be sure that her baby is well-fed, even while she is gone.

Now, a working mother and a stay-at-home mother are likely going to choose different pumps. After all, a woman who rarely leaves her baby will not need to ensure that she buys the fastest and most effective breast pump – in fact, she may even find that it is easiest to hand-express her milk. Or she may choose a manual operated model or an inexpensive battery operated breast pump.

A part-time working mother, on the other hand, should get at least a mid-grade nursing pump. After all, while she will nurse her baby at her breast often, she will also spend a lot of time “at the pump.” She wants that time to be well spent. And, in fact, it can be a good idea to nurse her baby on one breast while pumping the other one.

A mother who works full-time is going to want a good, reliable breast pump. She needs to make sure that she can express her milk quickly whenever she needs to, whether she is at home or at work. She can rent a hospital grade electric breast pump, but may do just fine with a store-bought electric breast pump, as long as she does not get one of the cheapest models. She should consider buying a dual pump – she can express milk much more quickly if she does it from both breasts at the same time. Also, a dual breast pump can increase milk flow.

And, interestingly enough, breast pumps have brought fathers closer to their babies. After all, many say that breastfeeding her baby is one of the best things that a mother can do to strengthen the mother-child bond. When a mother expresses milk via a breast pump, a father, too, has a chance to “breastfeed” his child. The father can feed the baby and bond with him or her.

Breast pumps have changed the world of breastfeeding.
