15 best breast pumps

Scientists believe that the most appropriate way of feeding children under 1 year old is breastfeeding. However, there are situations in which mothers need to express milk. For example, a woman decided to go to work, but not in a hurry to wean a child from the breast. Not being able to constantly be with her baby, she can gently pump milk into a bottle for another feed.

Breastfeeding milk will also have to moms who have been prescribed a course of drugs that are not compatible with breastfeeding. In this case, it will also be necessary to collect milk, but this time not at all for feeding the baby (unfortunately, during the whole course of treatment the expressed milk will have to be poured), but so that the lactation process does not stop, and after the end of the treatment course the woman could continue breastfeed

That is, there are circumstances in which the expression of breast milk becomes a necessity. This can be done both manually and using a special device - the breast pump. Historians believe that the first breastpumps appeared in the 16th century. However, officially the world's first patent for the invention of the breast pump was issued in the middle of the 19th century. After that, mechanical devices for expressing breast milk became fashionable, and new models began to appear at breakneck speed.

How to choose a breast pump

In order to pass the lactation period as comfortable as possible and without failures, experts recommend the use of special devices for collecting breast milk. Breast pumps may differ in type (electronic or manual), mechanism (piston, pump, etc.), shape, appearance and cost. We found out what rules should be followed when buying:

1. For convenience, you should choose a model with good equipment: bottles, containers, lids.
2. If you are going to express milk rarely, then give preference to a mechanical breast pump. This saves a lot of money.
3. The pad on the handheld device must be silicone, not plastic. This will relieve the discomfort and spilling of milk.
4. When buying an electronic model, it is better to make a choice in favor of multifunctional devices that are equipped with the ability to work both from the network and from batteries.
5. Among hand-held devices, give preference to piston mechanisms, since they do not injure the chest, unlike pump pumps, and are much more comfortable to use.
6. Buy should be only breast pumps made from quality materials. Cheap plastic quickly comes into disrepair and can harm the baby's health.
7. In the store, try to disassemble and assemble the device. The more removable parts, the easier it will be to wash and sterilize.
8. Acquire only important devices from trusted manufacturers. It gives a guarantee of good quality, long work and reliability.
