Introduction to Breast Pumps in Ireland
In my Dublin clinic, I've seen many mums struggle to find the right breast pump for their needs. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the best one. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I'm here to help you navigate the world of breast pumps and find the perfect one for you.

A mum I worked with last month at a cuidiú group was looking for a breast pump that was both comfortable and efficient. She had tried a few different options, but wasn't satisfied with the results. After discussing her needs and preferences, I recommended the Wearable Breast Pump (Double), which is available for €109.90, a significant discount from the original price of €219.90. She was thrilled with the results, and I was happy to see her confidently expressing milk on the go, whether at home in her cozy Dublin apartment or out and about in the city.
I remember one particular session with this mum, where she expressed her frustration with her previous pump, saying "I felt like I was stuck to the wall, unable to move or do anything else while I was pumping." But after switching to the Wearable Breast Pump, she exclaimed, "It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I can pump discreetly, even while walking around the Phoenix Park with my baby in the sling." It was wonderful to see her so empowered and confident in her ability to express milk.
