Many new mothers would agree that after having a baby, time and flexibility become valuable commodities. Breast feeding, although a huge part of the bonding process, can be very time consuming and prevents new fathers from sharing the feeding experience. At times, a mother may want to share this responsibility with others, enabling them to either complete other tasks, or enjoy some time for relaxation. Not all women have the option to remain at home after having a baby, and if a woman has to return to work, she will need to express if she wishes her baby to continue receiving breast milk. Using a double electric breast pump has many benefits.
Double breast pumps allow women to express from both breasts simultaneously. This means that double the quantity of milk is obtained in one session. Furthermore, this saves valuable time and energy as single models can only express from one breast at a time. In families that have twins or triplets, this makes feeding time easier and faster. A mother of twins or triplets will be able to feed the babies at the same time, instead of separating the feedings. Also, the babies will not have to wait to be fed as there will be more milk that can be made in advance.
Encouraging the flow of milk, these products also help guard against conditions such as mastitis. Mastitis is a breast tissue infection that causes painful swelling and lumps in the breast. To get relief from this condition, it is highly recommended that breastfeeding women pump more often to reduce the pain from breast engorgement that occurs during milk production. Furthermore, ensuring that the breasts are emptied regularly, stimulates milk production. Convenient to store, feeds can be kept in the freezer or refrigerator for ease of use.
Being separated from a baby for long periods, for example when a woman has returned to work, requires that milk is expressed frequently, to encourage production and ensuring that the flow does not dry up.
The comfort of the user is paramount, therefore modern devices often boast softer, more comfortable cups. Double electric products have only a few parts making them very easy to clean and use.
Among the many advantages of using double electric breast pumps, is the increased production of milk, the time saving feature of pumping breasts simultaneously and the convenience of pre storing feeds for another time. Small portable devices allow mothers to express milk in various settings.
