Welcoming your little bundle of joy after months of tired feet and food cravings can perhaps be a mother’s greatest moment. Nothing quite compares to having your baby in your arms, and you’ll want nothing more but to protect and nourish them. Naturally, you’d want to provide them with the nutrients they need, including antioxidants, enzymes, antibodies, and immunity components—and only your body can give these.
Your body system is regarded as more mature, with a strong immune system that you can easily pass on to your baby through breast milk. It sounds like nature’s miracle of a concoction, and it is—but it doesn’t always come naturally for mothers.
It can be frustrating and terrifying, but we’re here to tell you something important: it’s okay to ask for a little help. Your “new mom” body is equipped to keep your baby happy and healthy, but it’s always good to ask for a little push—a little help. You need a little guidance, even from tools and devices some deem to be “unnatural.”
So today, we break norms. We understand boundaries and challenge the “natural.” Above all, we seek better things—for you and your baby.
Not Alone: Breastfeeding Stimulation Problems Are Common
Many mothers around the world face the challenges of motherhood head-on, but many remain unaware that there are common denominators that make the journey even more challenging. At times, this means engaging in a battle with your own body. Some moms just find it difficult to stimulate breast milk production, but this should not be equated to failing as a mother.
Breastfeeding isn’t always smooth sailing. You’ll experience discomfort as a mother through sore nipples, for instance, which pertains to a pin and needle tingling feeling during nursing.
Sore nipples make it difficult to nurse your baby, but oftentimes, even more, challenging problems occur—like poor breastfeeding latch. This affects not just your milk production but the amount of milk your baby actually gets.
A baby needs a good latch to your nipple and areola, which are areas that begin milk flow. When latched correctly, the milk ducts underneath the areola are stimulated, ensuring that your baby has a steady supply of milk while suckling.
The only pump with Natural Motion Technology
You need to eat healthy as a mother, as well as get the right amount of sleep, exercise, and supplements to keep your body strong and upkeep your breastmilk supply for your baby. It’s a part of motherhood you can never skip, but while natural is good, it is important to remember that sometimes, you need a little bit of help too.
For many mothers around the world, this help comes in the form of a pump with Natural Motion Technology, which mimics the natural suckling motion of a baby to let you produce your best milk, sufficiently. Helping you reduce your stress towards maintaining your milk supply, from the already stressful life as a new mom.
According to studies, breast pumps help provide the support you need to maintain a stable milk supply as well as more milk over time, compared to organic latching. Especially, if you are experiencing a low milk supply, there is a greater chance for you to stop breastfeeding.
The success of your breastfeeding journey can be helped with the use of a twin electric breast pump. Most conventional electric breast pumps are designed to work as a strong vacuum pump, with no stimulation aid of your nipple to help you express quicker and more comfortably.
With a proper breast pump that has Natural Motion Technology, it helps mimic a baby’s suckling motion, together with its hospital strength suction and stimulation modes to help moms produce milk faster and maintain a steady milk supply.
Why the Philips Avent Electric Breast Pump?
When it comes to electric breast pumps, you’ll want:
- A pump with Natural Motion Technology for a more natural and comfortable expression experience.
- A hospital-grade suction twin electric breast pump to help increase milk removal in the shortest time. Simple to use and portable pump that allows you to pump on the go, for times when you just need the mobility feature as a busy, working mom.
The Philips Avent Twin Electric pump also offers additional cool features to boot:
- It offers a closed system design to prevent milk from flowing into the pump motor accidentally and your milk only flows directly into the bottles, keeping your milk hygienic. It has a “no leaning forward” design so that you can express comfortably while reclining on your couch.
- It automatically remembers your last expression settings the next time you fire up for another pumping session, no need to reconfigure your pump each time.
- It is compatible with Philips Avent feeding bottles, which are rated as one of the best feeding bottles in the world. It is also one of the quieter, portable electric pumps on the market, useful during your midnight pumping sessions.
The Takeaway
As a mother, breastfeeding is an important part of not only your body but your baby’s growth and development. It is normal to go through circumstances that hinder you from proper breastfeeding, and these should never mean that you’ve failed as a mother—nor should they mean that there is no hope. Supporting your body should be a top priority, and the best way to do that is to embrace help—even if it comes in the unlikely form of using an electric breast pump.
Coupled with patience, practice, and breast pump stimulation, you’ll be well on your way to helping your baby get the nutrition they need to grow stronger and healthier.
