Breast Pumps
A Breast Pump uses suction to pull the nipple into the tunnel of the breast shield and then releases, which counts as one cycle. A better quality breast pump can do between thirty and sixty cycles per minute. The Breast Pump is not as efficient at removing milk from the breasts as nursing your baby.

The expressed milk can be stored and then fed to your baby in a bottle. It can be kept at room temperature for up to ten hours, refrigerated for up to eight days and frozen for six months in a deep freezer that is seperate from the refrigerator.
Women use Breast Pumps for a variety of reasons:
* You can use a pump to continue breastfeeding after you return to work. The caregiver can give the baby your breast milk in a bottle.
* A Breast Pump can also be used to stimulate lactation in women who have a low milk supply.
* A breast pump may be used to relieve engorgement. This is a painful condition whereby the breasts are overfull which can prevent a proper latch by the infant.
* A mother may still desire the benefits of breast feeding even If an infant does not latch properly for direct breastfeeding. You can choose to pump exclusively in this situation.
* If you need to take medication that affects the breast milk and may be harmful to the infant, you may "pump and dump" the breast milk to keep up your milk supply while you are on the medication. This will allow you to resume nursing after the course of medication is completed.
Whatever the reason, a Breast Pump is a necessity if you have decided to breast feed your baby. It is a good idea to have one already on hand before you deliver your baby.
