Why use a breast pump?

The most common reason for using a breast pump during lactation is to preserve milk so that your baby can still get breast milk when you are away. Even when you are with your baby, using a breast pump can help maintain your milk supply. If you want to insist on breastfeeding after work, it is even more necessary to save the milk.

In addition, using a breast pump can also stimulate milk secretion and increase milk production. If your baby is premature or can't suck the mother's nipples, using a breast pump to collect milk will not only allow your baby to eat precious breast milk, but also relieve the pain and pressure caused by breast milk. But I need to remind you that you should not express too many milking times during the expansion, otherwise it will make the situation worse.

In special circumstances, if your doctor advises you to stop breastfeeding temporarily, for example, because you are taking drugs that may be harmful to your baby, or you need short-term hospitalization, then use breastfeeding during the period when you cannot breastfeed your baby The breast milk can continue to help you maintain adequate milk production.

Although some people prefer to express milk by hand, most people still feel that using a breast pump is faster and easier. At the beginning, you may not be used to it, and it feels a bit strange to use a "machine" to suck milk out of your breasts, but usually it doesn't take long before you can suck it smoothly.
