Everyone knows that breastfeeding is the best for babies. But some mothers may be too busy at work, or their nipples may be cracked or collapsed, and they may not be able to breastfeed their babies. At this time, the breast pump, as a necessary artifact for breastfeeding, comes in handy. So in the face of the numerous breast pumps on the market, how to choose?
[What is the role of a breast pump]
1. Relieve milk swelling
When the milk starts to secrete or after the milk is withdrawn, many moms will have the problem of milk swelling. In this case, the baby usually cannot absorb milk. Using a breast pump can effectively alleviate this increase in milk.
2. The mothers of office workers can also breastfeed their babies.
Many mothers will choose to continue to work after they have recovered almost after delivery. With a breast pump, they can prepare their milk in advance and breastfeed their babies.
3. Let the baby drink the nutritious aftermilk
Generally effective sucking is only the first few minutes, and all the sucking is the foremilk. Many mothers see that the baby is asleep or not sucking too much, so they will not let the baby continue to eat. So that the baby missed the nutritious aftermilk. If you use a breast pump, you can not only know the amount of milk accurately, but also let your baby drink the nutritious aftermilk.
[Which moms need a breast pump? 】
1. Mothers with inverted nipples
inverted nipples, and the newborn baby's mouth is relatively small, in this case, it is difficult for the baby to suck the mother's breast milk. A breast pump can relieve sore and chapped nipples, and can expose flat or sunken nipples.
2. Moms who want to breastfeed for office workers are
from nine to six every day, and moms who want to keep breastfeeding must enter the army of breastfeeding. Pumping milk out at work can not only relieve milk swelling, but it is also a ration for the baby.
3. Mothers with a lot of milk
Some mothers have too much milk. If the excess milk is not squeezed out, it will easily lead to blockage of the breasts, which may lead to mastitis. In addition, if there is too much milk in the mother's breasts, the baby will have a milk ejection reflex next time she feeds, and the baby will not have time to swallow and will choke milk easily.
4. Mothers of premature babies
Premature babies generally have low sucking ability, and breastfeeding mothers need to express the milk.
5. Other special circumstances
During breastfeeding, if the mother is sick and cannot feed, she needs to use a breast pump to maintain the milk. In addition, babies with cleft lip and palate can't hold their nipples, so they need to use a breast pump to suck out the milk before feeding, so that babies with cleft lip and palate can also enjoy breastfeeding.
