Ensure that you are purchasing a quality breast pump that will meet your pumping needs by purchasing a breast pump at Mother Nurture. We only offer quality breast pumps from Medea, Ameda and Bailey which have proven track records of quality performance. A quality breast pump is designed with breast pumping success in mind and more closely mimics the cycles and suction levels of a baby at the breast.

Since there is no regulation on breast pump performance, many companies are taking advantage of the “new market of breastfeeding Moms” by producing cheap goods to sell to them. Often, these breast pumps do not adequately stimulate the breast causing the milk supply to decrease and ending the breastfeeding relationship. As a result, Moms are forced to purchase bottled feeding supplies made by the same company – interesting coincidence.

All of the following receive poor reviews in the lactation literature and have poor track records when used by the majority of breastfeeding mothers: Evenflo, Gerber, First Years, MagMag, Playskool. All of these pumps either allow for suction levels beyond what has been determined as safe for breast and nipple tissue or cycle far below effective frequencies (as low as 4-7 cycles for minute for some of them). Most also require the mother to regulate the cycles.
