Breastfeeding is a wonderful adventure but above all unique for every mom. Between the first moments of complicity, the difficulties of everyday life and the return to work, the trials are numerous, but its benefits are priceless. Today, Laura confides in us about her breastfeeding experience and gives us his opinion on the Emy Pump portable breast pump who accompanied him on a daily basis for more than 6 months.
A difficult start to breastfeeding
Laura, 30 years old, mother of a little boy, has experienced complicated start of breastfeeding. Despite a successful first latch, her baby quickly showed signs of fatigue and weight loss.
Expressing milk to complete feedings
On medical advice, Laura began to expressing milk to supplement feedings. “Miracle it works and baby continues to breastfeed. So, we decided to continue on this path. Baby takes the breast with mom and the bottle with dad. »
Unfortunately, an episode of thrush forced Laura to pass exclusively with a breast pump, leading to a baby's preference for the bottle.
Baby refuses to breastfeed
Breastfeeding, whether at the breast or by breast pump, maybe exhausting for a young mother. Laura looks back on the moment when her baby stopped taking the breast in favor of the bottle.
This development is common and can be a source of stress and fatigue : “The horror is beginning for me. You have to feed your baby and then, once he's asleep, express my milk. I don't have no more time for me nor to sleep properly. Result ? I am morally and physically exhausted, but I continue, because I want the best for my son. »
Fatigue, both physical and mental, becomes a daily reality, especially in the first weeks after giving birth. The intense rhythm imposed by the baby's needs, combined with the need to express milk, can quickly become exhausting.
Optimizing your rest time therefore becomes essential to keep up with the demanding pace of breastfeeding. However, with a traditional breast pump, this can be complicated or even difficult.
The challenges of the traditional breast pump
An impractical device for an active life
THE traditional corded breast pump can quickly become a barrier to social life and family breastfeeding mothers as Laura confirms to us.
“The holidays are coming, we have to spend the day with our family at a zoo. But how do I express my milk with my corded pharmacy breast pump? Baby no longer takes the breast. Impossible to last the day without shooting, I stay at home with baby. »
This situation is unfortunately common. Wired breast pumps, bulky and often dependent on a source of electricity, considerably limit the mobility of young mothers, sometimes forcing them to give up precious family moments.
I want to express my milk hands-free

The prospect of returning to work is often source of anxiety for breastfeeding mothers.
Laura also expresses her concerns: “I see the return to work approaching, I wonder how I am going to do it, because I cannot express my milk during my working time and not to be paid of this wasted time and on top of having to do it on my breaks and therefore not eating. »
These concerns are legitimate. Reconciling breastfeeding and professional life can seem insurmountable with a traditional breast pump. Laura adds: “The only room offered to me is the infirmary where all employees trained in first aid can enter at their convenience. I don't see myself finding myself again topless with my breast pump in front of my colleagues »
There discretion and privacy are crucial aspects for mothers who wish continue breastfeeding after returning to work. Traditional breast pumps often do not meet these essential needs.
“Not to mention the bulky equipment to carry every day. I don't want to stop breastfeeding. Invest in a portable breast pump quickly becomes obvious to me! »

A worrying lack of information
The choice of good breast shield size (in addition to the shape and material) is essential for milk pumping efficient and comfortable. However, this subject is rarely discussed with young mothers.
