Introduction to Wearable Breast Pumps
As a lactation consultant with over 10 years of experience working with new mothers in London, I've seen many mums struggle with traditional breast pumps. According to the NHS (CG30), breastfeeding has numerous benefits for both mums and babies, including a reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancer, as well as a lower risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes for babies. However, expressing milk can be a challenge, with many mums experiencing discomfort, anxiety, and difficulty expressing milk in public or at work. That's why I'm excited to share my expertise on wearable breast pumps, a game-changer for breastfeeding mums. In my London clinic, I've worked with numerous mums who've benefited from these innovative pumps, which have made it easier for them to express milk on-the-go.
Wearable breast pumps have been shown to increase breastfeeding rates, with a study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) finding that mums who used wearable breast pumps were more likely to continue breastfeeding at 6 months. I'm happy to recommend the TheRelievoo Wearable Pump, a hospital-grade, hands-free wearable pump that has received excellent reviews from mums in the UK.

Do Wearable Breast Pumps Work
Wearable breast pumps have been shown to be effective in expressing milk, with many mums reporting increased comfort and convenience. According to Tommy's, wearable breast pumps can help reduce stress and anxiety associated with expressing milk. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Human Lactation found that wearable breast pumps can increase milk expression by up to 20% compared to traditional breast pumps.
I remember working with a new mum, Sarah, who was struggling to express milk at work. She was using a traditional breast pump, but was finding it uncomfortable and difficult to use in the office. I recommended she try a wearable breast pump, and she was amazed at how easy and convenient it was to use. She was able to express milk discreetly and comfortably, and was able to continue breastfeeding her baby for several months. She told me that the wearable breast pump was a "game-changer" for her, and that she couldn't imagine going back to using a traditional breast pump.
