(HealthNewsDigest.com) – For mothers working outside the home who are breastfeeding their babies (and those who travel or for other reasons can’t be with their child throughout the day), using a breast pump to “express” (extract) their milk is a must. But all breast pumps are not alike.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees the safety and effectiveness of these medical devices. New mothers may have a host of questions about choosing a breast pump. What type of breast pump should they get? How do they decide ahead of time which pump will fit in best with their daily routines? Are pumps sold “used” safe?
Read this Consumer Update for information to help you choose the right pump for you.
