Best Manual Breast Pump

| March 5, 2012

Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with Calma Teat

I found the Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with Calma Teat perfect for those times when I couldn’t breastfeed and needed to express.

The Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with Calma Teat is BPA free, lightweight and portable for when you’re out and about or travelling.

It uses a 2-phase expression technology that is alike to a baby when breastfeeding which mimics the natural sucking rhythm of the baby with short, stimulating movements followed by longer, more intensive ones to ensure an optimal milkflow.

This gives you faster let-down and maximum milkflow which significantly reduces pumping time, so you can express more milk in less time and more comfortably.

The Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with Calma Teat is the best manual breast pump you can buy.

If you’re looking for a breast pump that’s ideal for occasional or frequent use the Medela Swing Breast Pump with Calma Teat makes expressing quick, easy and suitable for everyday.

The Medela Harmony Breast Pump won the Practical Parenting & Pregnancy Gold Award for Best Manual Breast Pump 2011 / 2012.

The Importance of Reading to Baby

It’s never too early to start reading to your baby.

Reading is a wonderful way to communicate and bond, as well as being a fun activity for both you and your baby.

As you read, your baby will listen to you talking and is comforted by your voice and being held close to you.

Reading encourages your baby to understand the different sounds of speech, the use of language and non-verbal communication through facial expressions and gestures.

Children whose parents read books to them when they are young often learn to talk, read and write more easily.

Parents, grandparents, siblings and friends can all share in the pleasures of reading to baby, making reading a varied and enjoyable learning experience.

Have fun reading to baby during playtime, in the bath and before bedtime:

Part of baby’s daily activity and play teaching baby about sound, texture, visual stimulus and music.

Have fun splishing about with bath time books suitable for water and lots of splish splash sploshing!

Help baby understand the routine of sleep with relaxation before slumber.
