Reasons for pumping and type of pump to use.
• Some mothers simply prefer to
collect breast milk by pumping.
• Some mothers must be separated from
their infants. They should probably use an electric, Lopuco, or Kaneson
type pump. These women should be under the care of a Physician/Practitioner
or a Premature and High Risk Counselor.
• Some mothers pump to go back to work
or school or for an occasional bottle. They could use a Lopuco or Kaneson
type pump and should consider contacting a regular nursing women's group.
• There are several pumps available,
ranging in price and effectiveness. Naval, Evenflo, and Kaneson are hand
pumps; Medela, Egnell, and Neonatal Axicare are electric pumps.
