Breast pumps: A key to self-determined everyday life

Philips Avent hands free elektrische Milchpumpe Mood

Breast pumps can be a real lifesaver for mothers on their breastfeeding journey. Not only do they offer the opportunity to collect precious breast milk for later, they also open up new dimensions of flexibility and independence. Breastfeeding mothers often face the challenge of balancing the needs of their newborn with their own life circumstances. For example, most mothers (61 %) have one hour or less per day for their basic daily needs. Breast pumps make it possible to take a step back – whether to enjoy a well-deserved break or to continue to give their best for their child while returning to work. By integrating breast pumps into everyday life, mothers can take control of breastfeeding, while midwives play a central role in offering and supporting these empowering options.
