WIN a Medela Pump-In-Style Double Breast Pump! ~In our Breastfeeding is Best for All Babies Celebration

WIN a Medela Pump-In-Style® Double Breast Pump!
There are many reasons that you may want to use a breastpump, besides the obvious reason that you are returning to work. A breastpump will allow you to express breastmilk to store for other occasions like:

~When you need to be away from baby over-night or for an extended period of time during the day.

~When you need to take certain medications that you don't want to share with baby through your breastmilk.

~ It also allows dad and other members of the family the opportunity to feed baby and enjoy that special bonding process that happens when feeding baby, while still giving breastmilk to the baby.

~ Pumping your breastmilk can aid in maintaining your milk supply.

~ When you need to give a little extra to baby when she is extra hungry between feedings and your supply is low -like when baby is getting ready for a growth spurt and seems hungrier than ever and wants to nurse more than usual.

For all of these reasons, as well as many more that you will discover, a quality breastpump is worth it's weight in gold. I have known many women who have opted for an inexpensive (ie: cheap) breastpump, thinking there is no real difference in pumps. Then they come in to my store in a panic because their cheap pump just died on them at a most inopportune time...as if any time would be appropriate to have your pump fail. I don't even sale low-quality breastpumps in my store for this very reason. So it is important to think of your breastpump as an investment. You don't want to have it fail when you need it most. Imagine if it failed right after you got to work. You are going to need to pump at least twice in your work day in order to have enough milk to feed your baby the next day. Or what if it failed the day that you have a tooth pulled or some other minor surgery and need to express your milk while taking medications that will pass through to baby.

The Medela Breastpumps have 2-Phase Expression® Technology, which is a unique pumping pattern that mimics what a breastfeeding baby knows how to do instinctively. The 2-Phase Expression technology was designed to mimic a baby's natural nursing rhythm. This technology allows for maximum milk flow in less time. Here is how it works:

Phase 1: Stimulation phase is fast and light to start the milk flowing.

Phase 2: Slower and with more vacuum to express more milk gently and efficiently.
