3 Breast Pumping Must Haves: Your Guide to Pumping Success
In honour of World Breast Pumping Day on January 27th we are taking a moment to acknowledge the big role breast pumping plays in the lives of mothers and babies around the world. Breast pumping is a must have for mothers who want to feed their babies breast milk and have a busy life. Whether you’re a working mom or just want to share feeding duties with a partner, a breast pump is a total game changer. In this post we will cover the must haves for successful breast pumping including breast pumps from Medela and Haakaa as well as nipple butter for comfort and care.
1. Medela Breast Pumps: The Best in Breast Pumping
Medela is a well known and trusted brand in the breast pump world, and for good reason. Here’s why Medela breast pumps are a must have for many pumping moms:
- Efficient Expression: Medela pumps are designed to mimic a baby’s natural sucking pattern so you have a comfortable and efficient pumping experience. Efficient expression helps maintain milk supply and saves you time.
- Multiple Options: Medela has a range of breast pumps to suit every need. From electric pumps like the Medela Pump In Style to the convenient Medela Freestyle Hands Free there’s an option for everyone.
- Quality and Durability: Medela pumps are built to last. Their durability means you’ll have a reliable pumping companion for your entire breastfeeding journey.
2. Haakaa: The Manual Wonder
The Haakaa breast pump has become a favourite among breastfeeding mothers for its simplicity and effectiveness. Here’s why it’s a must have for your pumping journey:
- Hands-Free Pumping: The Haakaa is a manual breast pump that attaches to your breast, creating gentle suction without need for any additional power sources. Hands free pumping means you can multitask while pumping.
- Catch Every Drop: When nursing your baby on one side, you can use the Haakaa on the other to catch letdown milk that would otherwise go to waste. It’s a great way to build a milk stash without effort.
- Easy to Clean and Maintain: Made from 100% food-grade silicone, the Haakaa is easy to clean and sterilize so you have a safe and clean pumping experience.
3. Nipple Butter: Soothe and Protect
Breast pumping can be uncomfortable so nipple butter is a must have in your pumping arsenal:
- Soothing Relief: Nipple butter is designed to soothe and heal sore and cracked nipples. Look for products with natural ingredients like lanolin or coconut oil for gentle care. Try the Medela Organic Nipple Cream or the Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter.
- Safe for Mom and Baby: Good quality nipple butter is safe for you and your baby so you don’t need to wash it off before pumping or breastfeeding.
- Prevents Dryness: Using nipple butter regularly can prevent dryness and discomfort so you have a more comfortable pumping experience.
Breast pumping is a great tool that allows mothers to give their babies the benefits of breast milk while managing their busy lives. Invest in the essentials like Medela and Haakaa breast pumps and nipple butter and you’ll have a more comfortable and successful pumping journey. These tools help you maintain milk supply and ensure you can continue to give your baby the best. So get equipped and go pumping!
