Breast Pumps

Breast pumps provide flexibility in everyday life with a baby

You may be wondering why a breast pump is necessary if you plan to solely breastfeed your baby. No matter how much you want this plan to come true, it can happen that breastfeeding does not work or no longer works well for you because you experience pain or the milk does not flow sufficiently. Then a breast pump is a great support because for some mothers it is less painful than when their baby is sucking their breast. You can also use it for stimulating milk production. Even if breastfeeding works wonderfully for you, a breast pump can be of great service to you.

What are the benefits of a breast pump?

A breast pump has numerous benefits for you and your baby. You don't always have the opportunity or time to breastfeed your little one when they are hungry. On the other hand, breast milk is the best food for newborn babies and cannot be replaced by anything. A breast pump is the solution to this problem. With this device, you can conveniently express a small supply of breast milk for on the go and fill it into a practical bottle with a suitable teat. This way, you can feed your baby with the best breast milk at any time, even if you do not have the opportunity to breastfeed or do not want to do so in public.

A breast pump is also useful, for instance, to make sure that dad can feed his baby without having to switch to follow-up milk or formula. That way you can stay particularly flexible and do not have to worry about your baby's diet, whether at work or away from home. Another great benefit is that you can express excess milk quickly and easily, and store and portion it for later. This way, breastfeeding does not become a stressful and messy business.

Breastfeeding a baby is the most natural thing there is. For this reason, we at kidsroom.de advocate breastfeeding. However, there will be situations in which you cannot breastfeed your baby or where breastfeeding may seem inappropriate for personal reasons. You should be prepared for such circumstances so that your baby does not have to do without your valuable breast milk. If you have decided to buy a breast pump, you will overcome such obstacles with ease.

When do I need a breast pump?

You can use a practical breast pump right from birth. For this reason, you should decide on a suitable model before giving birth. This ensures that your baby is provided with your healthy breast milk right from the start. By the way, you do not need substitute products such as starting milk or follow-up milk if you decide to breastfeed. Your breast milk is the best food for your baby and in the first years of life, it is of particular importance for the healthy development of your child. With breast milk, a baby not only takes in all the important nutrients, but also important antibodies from the mother's immune system. Breastfeeding protects your child and at the same time strengthens their body’s defences. Awesome, isn't it?

What do I need to consider when buying a breast pump?

There are a few things to consider when buying a breast pump. Above all, the quality of workmanship and functionality are important features when buying a breast pump. A good pump should be neatly made and it should be able to withstand the entire breastfeeding period of a child with ease. You should also ask yourself whether you want to opt for a manual or an electric breast pump. In general, it is important not to buy the cheapest product and thus save on the wrong things. More expensive breast pumps offer some advantages and features that you as a mother will quickly appreciate. For example, clean processing of the parts that touch the skin, which makes pumping more pleasant, and the option of battery operation. Electric breast pumps have a high pumping capacity. For even more efficient pumping, there are double electric breast pumps on the market, they allow pumping on both breasts at the same time, which saves time and stimulates milk production twice. The Freestyle Flex double electric breast pump by Medela is a particularly popular model.

Where will your future breast pump be used most often? If you need the breast pump more often when you are out and about, a manual pump is often more practical than an electric version, as it does not depend on an external power source. However, if you don't want to do without the convenience of an electric breast pump while on the move, it is advisable to look for battery-operated alternatives. If the pump is intended for domestic use, an electric breast pump offers a decisive advantage in terms of convenience.
