Medela Swing Breast Pump

Mothers who choose to breast feed their child are sometimes faced with the challenge of being able to jump between feeding their child and being productive throughout the day. This is amplified even further by those parents seeking to maintain a social life. After all, you can’t expect a babysitter to breast feed your child for you.

A breast pump allows a mother to bottle a supply of breast milk for those occasions when breast feeding simply isn’t feasible. In the grocery store, at a restaurant, or when you are leaving your child with a babysitter are all great examples of when you can just whip out your breast and start feeding your baby. Breast milk in a bottle, however, provides all the convenience of bottle feeding with the nutritional advantages of breast milk. It’s a great compromise.

Using a breast pump is very simple, safe, and painless. When you purchase your breast pump, learning how to use it is as simple as following the instructions it comes with. It may take one or two tries to get it down pat, but once you do it’s as easy as you’d think- many parents will flick on their favourite TV show and use the breast pump.
