CONCLUSION

Breast pumps made of silicone are used to extract and collect milk from your breasts. After collecting the milk, you may either feed it to your baby right away or store it in breast milk storage bags and containers for later use. To eliminate your breast milk, you can use a manual expression technique; but, depending on how often you need to express, you may find that using a Silicone Breast Pump is easier and more convenient.

A Silicone Breast Pump can also be used to address a variety of issues that parents may face while breastfeeding, such as difficulty latching, separation from an infant in intensive care, feeding an infant who is unable to extract enough milk from the breast, avoiding medication passing through breast milk to the baby, or relieving engorgement, a painful condition in which the breasts are overfilled.

Even if the pumped milk is not utilised, pumping may be beneficial to sustain lactation and its accompanying hormones to aid in recovery after pregnancy.
