How many mothers have we not struggled to continue breastfeeding once we return to work? Sometimes even if you have the best intentions, when you become a mother and return to work, several factors arise that make things very difficult for us and getting a successful breastfeeding seems to be so complicated that we get to the point of feeling defeated.
Now, thanks to Willow, a novel wireless breast pump, continue breastfeeding will be much easier, because breast milk can be extracted Wherever and whenever, thanks to its design modern and discreet.
The problems facing breastfeeding when you work away from home
When my daughter was born, I had planned that the only thing I would receive during her first months of life was my own milk. What better way to give my baby the most complete food for his needs as a newborn? But things don't always go as planned.
Various factors and problems influenced the decision that my daughter began mixed breastfeeding, but the biggest problem arose when I returned to work and could no longer be attached to her to breastfeed her whenever she wanted.
Although I tried to express milk with the breast pump I had bought, my production was low because in addition to the lack of advice, going to and from the office at my house during my lactation permit did not help. He time was simply too little and there were days when it definitely wasn't enough for me. Being pressured caused me terrible despair and stress.
My workplace didn't help either. There was no space where I could go to express milk in private and I was not going to go to the bathroom to get my daughter's food (besides not being able to do it because it was an electric breast pump and there was nowhere to connect it). Sadly, most women do not have what it takes to continue breastfeeding once we return to our jobs.
That's why, as a mother who has already been through this complicated process of breastfeeding and working outside the home, I am amazed and amazed at the new breast pump they presented this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The breast pump that gives you discretion and freedom of movement
Willow is a cordless breast pump that allows you to perform the extraction of milk wherever and whenever, without a doubt something that working mothers will love to continue breastfeeding when they return to work.
This new product besides being small and discreet, has ergonomic shape, making it possible to place it under your bra to pump your milk while you do other things at work or at home. The extracted milk is poured directly into BPA-free sachets that you can empty into a bottle or if you prefer, freeze them to always have available in your milk bank.
The advantages that I see are many because although the extraction operation is not very different from traditional breast pumps and there are others that work with batteries, it would end with many problems how:
- Having to find a place in private to put the breast pump and not find it.
- Stop doing things or caring for older children by having their hands occupied.
- Waking up the baby while sleeping with the noise of the breast pump (the one I had was very scandalous).
- Having to carry an extra bag for the office with all the accessories of the breast pump.
In addition, the operation of this breast pump includes monitoring the amount of ounces extracted through an application that you can install on your mobile phone. Isn't it great? As a millennial mom, I love that finally technology also begins to focus on meeting the needs of mothers.
It is surely a product that will be worth having and which will completely change the way working mothers continue breastfeeding. Unfortunately, like any new and revolutionary product, it has a disadvantage: its cost of $ 429 dollars (plus the bags to buy for each use) is quite high for most mothers.
