Every mother’s breastfeeding journey is distinct and depends on multiple factors. This very uniqueness of the breastfeeding journey makes it difficult for the new mother to seek a completely personalised guidance and support, especially when it comes to choosing the right breast pump. Breast pumps are devices that enable mothers to provide mother’s milk for babies who cannot feed directly at the breast for a variety of reasons such as latch-on problems, cleft palate or premature babies. Breast pumps are also convenient, even necessary, for mothers to express and store their breast milk once they have returned to work, travelling or otherwise separated from their baby.  Whatever the reason, getting the right breast pump is always important and should be considered carefully. Mostly women end up buying breast pumps based on recommendations, word of mouth and lack specific/ personalized information or help to identify the right choice of breast pump for them.
