The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) strongly recommends exclusive breastfeeding for six months with sequential
addition of other foods till 24 months.1 Most pediatricians emphasize the value of breastfeeding right since birth
when a mother�s milk contains high quantities of colostrum for a few days after birthing. This thick yellowish milk is
extremely healthy and necessary for newborns since it contains a high concentration of antibodies and nutrients for
the baby.
Although breastfeeding is the best way to ensure good health of your newborn, some of you may face several
challenges while breastfeeding or may not be able to breastfeed directly at all due to medical or personal reasons. A
breast pump is a handy device for all new moms who may not be able to breastfeed temporarily or permanently due
to various reasons. This simple-to-use device ensures that your baby is not deprived from the nutritious qualities of
mother�s milk, by letting you express milk from your breasts using it and feed it to your baby as and when required
with the help of a spoon or a feeding bottle.
