Moms are always striving to give the best to their babies, aren’t they? Be it working mothers, moms on the go, or stay-at-home mommies – breast milk is their first choice. It might be commonly considered that the breast pump is needed by mums who need to store their breast milk (as they remain away from home for a considerable time)! No, that’s a misconception to be precise! Breast pumps serve a lot of other purposes…

• You might need to pull out those flat and/or inverted nipples of yours.
• You are on the go and your baby needs feeding
• You might be planning to get back to work and will remain away from home for about 8 to 10 hours regularly.
• The newborn is unable to breastfeed (usually the case with premature babies)
• Continuous engorgements within short intervals of time is often painful for the nipples!
• For simply increasing the milk supply and/or restarting lactating after a long time.

There are indeed more reasons than the ones we gave you here for using breast pumps. Breastfeeding is bliss but it stresses out new mums too, especially when it’s your first baby! Breast pumps go a long way in making the breastfeeding journey a memorable one. They let moms pursue their work-life, take breaks from their day-to-day routine and most importantly start with lactating when they plan to restart after a long gap!

Breast pump accessories

A fully functional breast pump cannot do without the right set of accessories. Breast-pumping nudges you to put in a few more things, inside the bag, apart from the pumping machine alone.

Storage bags – if the storage is for long hours, bottles don’t suffice. These bags can be stored away in the freezer easily (they both save space and don’t run the risk of breaking).

Breast shields/ nipple shields – They not only save you from the embarrassment and discomfort when your breast lets down excessively but also come in different sizes to aid the infant while latching!

Don’t forget the nursing pads or the nipple cream! Nourishing cracked and/or painful nipples are essential. And the pads are needed by moms who experience excess let-downs. Nursing pads snugly fit inside the bra and make moms (especially if she is at work or traveling) comfortable!
