You will find that some settings provide a more comfortable pump while drawing out large amounts of milk at the same time.

Breast milk contains all the vitamins and minerals your baby needs to get a healthy start in life.

However, if you choose not to breast feed, you can rest assured that your baby will still receive proper nutrition from nursing pillows for comfortable bottle feeding and baby bottles for expressed breast milk.
