Introduction to Breast Pumps in NZ
In my Auckland clinic, I've worked with numerous mums who struggle to find the right breast pump for their needs. With so many options available in the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the best one. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I've put together this guide to help you make an informed decision. According to Plunket, over 90% of New Zealand mothers initiate breastfeeding, and expressing milk can be a great way to continue breastfeeding when you're not with your bub. You can contact Plunket on 0800 933 922 for more information and support.
With the TheRelievoo Wearable Pump, you can express milk comfortably and discreetly, whether you're at home, in the office, or on-the-go in Auckland's busy streets. I've seen many mums benefit from using this pump, and I'm excited to share its features with you.
