We have outlined a list of reasons that may help you decide why you’ll require a breast pump in the home.
- Breastfeeding is such a special experience that new mommies get to share with their infant. It allows for baby and mother to begin to build a beautiful connection and relationship. If your partner is able to participate in feeding, it too creates a unique bond between baby and the other parent. If you want to help in the growth of that relationship, having a breast pump gives them the opportunity to do so. Pumping allows you to store milk so that the other parent can feed the baby too, permitting them to form their own union.
- Date nights! We know this time is insanely busy but after everything, you deserve a night out once in awhile. Having a breast pump allows you to do so giving you an extra supply of milk in the fridge for the babysitter or grandparents.
