Making Breastfeeding Comfortable And Convenient

No phenomenon in the world can match the significance and magic of childbirth. This creation of life marks the beginning of one’s parenting journey. It demands the purest form of human dedication: expressing love and care.

A close second to this would be the act of breastfeeding, which is a stepping stone towards nurturing life and a healthier future for the newborn.

As beautiful as the process of breastfeeding is, it can sometimes cause discomfort for mothers.

Hence, many mothers have turned to breast pumping to nurture their babies, whilst juggling between the hustle and bustle of their day-to-day lives.

Here is an essential guide on how and why breast pumping and breast pumps have become a necessary part of so many today’s on-the-go mothers’ daily lives!

Breastfeeding Should Be Comfortable

The pursuit for comfort is and always has been at the heart of all, if not most technological innovations.

This stands true when more and more of today’s mothers choose breast pumping over breastfeeding directly.

Mothers who have breastfed directly would know that breastfeeding is likely to cause sore, cracked, or even infected nipples.

Whilst this can also occur during breast pumping, it is less likely to occur due to poor latching or high suction intensity of babies.

Breastfeeding Can Be Convenient

Pumping breast milk has given these mothers a stronger sense of control over their daily schedules when feeding their babies.

With the aid of today’s breast pumps, mothers are now able to pre-pump and set aside milk for feeding if they’re ever in need of them at the simple click of a button.

It also greatly adds to parents’ ability to effectively split their childcare duties; allowing both parents to intimately spend time with their babies, whilst ensuring maximum rest times for the other.

In the long run, this essentially optimises the quality of time both parents can invest in their child and proactively enhance their co-parenting experience.

Additionally, mothers may also want to ensure that there is always a bottle of breastmilk ready for their babies.

Breast pumps provide the ideal situation for this very case as mothers can pump and store their breast milk; cutting out the need to be worried about low supply.

It is also no longer necessary to lean forward while pumping as it is clinically proven to provide mothers more comfort when pumping⁶.

Mothers can also customise their breast-pumping sessions according to their preferences. With 8 stimulation and 16 expression levels, you are sure to get just the right amount of nipple stimulation and suction for maximum milk flow.

On top of that, it also has a memory setting that automatically remembers your last session’s settings, so all you need to do is sit down and press start.

Moreover, the breast pump also features a pause or play function; allowing mothers to take a break midway of pumping, which is especially useful if you need to pause and tend to your baby.

Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy for mothers to bring it with them on-the-go.

It also has a quiet motor; allowing mothers to pump anywhere discreetly.

The breast pump also comes with a micro-USB adapter and lasts up to 3 sessions on a single full charge, so you do not have to worry about charging it every time after pumping.
