A breast pump can be a valuable tool for many reasons. The first is that it can make breast feeding easier on both the mother and the baby. For example, if a baby is too weak to extract the milk from a breast on its own, a breast pump can ensure that the baby still gets to drink the nutritious milk.

Even as grown adults, we still get that - get me out of this car - feeling after a few hours on the road, but sometimes children feel that way after thirty minutes!
