Well, as we've said, mother's milk is best. But many new moms who want to breast feed their children face a daunting challenge as they go back to work. In order to get ready to go back to work, she has to plan ahead to make sure that her baby first of all accepts a bottle, so we encourage mothers to introduce a bottle of expressed breast milk somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks. Second of all, we ask her to get her milk supply nice and high and probably store quite a bit of milk before she goes back to work, so she should start pumping faithfully every day. Some mothers even pump twice a day.
Women can choose from two types of pumps.
They can choose a manual pump, which actually is hard for a working woman because they then have to pump one breast at a time. There are also electric pumps and many of them will do both breasts at the same time. This has been our most popular model because it's so self-contained and easy to use. First of all, it looks really nice. And then this contains blue ice and a refrigerated section so she can carry her milk home.
