Hi-tech Breastpumps For the Hi-tech Mom!
Mothers of an earlier era would not recognize their modern-day avatars. The mother of today is a confident lady, thanks to the heavy support of benevolent technology available with her. Years of studies and research have taken away the pain and the discomfort that once used to be associated with the very natural phenomenon of child birth and rearing.
When social conditions reached the stage when females started working alongside the males in offices and factories; they were not taken seriously for a long-haul career, simply because"infant-rearing is on the way". Many a promising female professional has had to either give up her job / vocation in order to look after her newly-born child. At best, she would have to hang her boots atleast for the first year or two, till the child could be weaned away from breastfeeding.
Science noticed this problem; and the breastpump was born. With a rudimentary device, mothers could express milk while they were away from their child, store it in clean hygienic containers, and feed it to their child after returning home. As mothers have become more and more techno-savvy and demanding about what they need and want; it was but natural for science, technology, and the market to follow suit. Today, all the three are busy dancing to the tunes of the hi-tech mom, trying to please her with newer and newer gizmos with greater comfort.
Take the Medela Symphony breastpump for instance. Looking at this equipment, one would marvel at the heights that man would conquer in order to indulge in simple pleasures. No exaggeration, this; simply look for the computer chip that is embedded in the equipment that provides a feature called as a Program Card, which can store "pumping programs"! Its advanced motor design allows for super-quiet operation, and an array of sleek controls that a modern mom would be quite at home with.
Imagine a deserted location where a mother has accidentally forgotten her breastpump equipment behind (she wouldn't, for her life, but let's visualize she has). If a UFO were to land at this spot and pick up the equipment, it would be doubtful if their R &D engineers would ever figure out what all those fancy knobs and the computer chip were meant for!
Another hi-tech machine is the Purely Yours breastpump. This machine has up to eight (!) adjustable suction levels and four (!) cycle speeds that the mother can alter at will, in order to maximize her comfort level. Weighing only one pound, and operable through either an AC adapter, AA batteries, or a car adapter, it is surely a winner amongst the breastfeeding community.
There are numerous instances when the mother just can't spare the time, and her hands, to simply sit aside and begin expressing milk. Well, there is a "hands-free" breastpump available for such super-busy moms too! Whisper Wear's device enables the lady to cup her breasts with the milk collectors, and connects them with a container where the milk is accumulated. The device can be operated through batteries, and has buttons that control the level of suction as well as the speed of operation. Unless somebody is watching very closely, people do not even get to know that you are expressing milk at that very moment.
Not only the pump, but even the accessories have undergone dramatic advancements that
make the life of today's mom easier. Older generations rue that they did not have such facilities
at their time!
