In today's society, many moms also have to return to work, sometimes quite soon after birth. This prevents many moms from breastfeeding their children and many will turn to bottle feeding formula instead. However, a breast pump is a good solution if you need to go back to work and you still wish to provide your baby with the best milk it can possibly get.
With a little baby in the household, lots of hours will be spend breastfeeding. Breast milk is without a doubt the most nutritious milk that the baby can possibly have, and it is in both your own and your baby's interest to breastfeed for as long as possible. With a breast pump you can get some of the flexibility that is needed for a working mom. You can get an electric one or a manual one. But what is the best breast pump for a working mom?
A breast pump is a very personal item and it depends on personal choice and preference. Some might like an electric one while others prefer a manual version. As a mother of two, I have tried different ones and I definitely prefer a manual one. It gives you much better control and flexibility as it allows you to imitate your own baby's rhythm, which stimulates the breast better and lets the milk flow easier. I now use a manual pump that has a reputation of being better that the electric pumps that are used in the hospitals, so this says quite a lot.
The best breast pump for a working mom is one that is easy to use, easy to dismantle and clean. Furthermore, it has to be light as you will carry it around. Besides, it is great if you can pump, store and feed from the same bottle, as this allows you to buy several spare parts that fit together. If you need to use it at work, you can consider buying two breast pumps to use simultaneously as this will stimulate milk production quite well.
Another important thing to consider is the price. Electric ones are quite often more expensive than manual ones. But in this case, it is not always the most expensive one that is better. Before purchase, you can read breast pump reviews to get an idea of what would fit you better, or if you have the possibility to try one before buying, that would definitely be the best solution.
