Introduction
■
It is generally accepted that breast milk is the natural diet for an infant providing the necessary nutrients
for growth and protection against infections . A breast milk pump is a suitable additional accessory for
breastfeeding mothers . It is particularly useful in situations where the mother is not able to breastfeed at
regular intervals or when it is not possible to breastfeed directly from the breast, e .g . due to painful or fissured
breast nipples and last but not least it helps alleviate engorgement, a painful condition where breasts are
overfilled and expression of a certain amount of milk is necessary .
■
The BBP 1000 Bayby manual breast pump is equipped with a two-phase system that simulates an infant's
natural sucking action . In the first phase, the fast suction cycle is emulated, by which the breast nipple is
stimulated to induce the lactation of breast milk from the mammary gland, resulting in gentle expression .
This is followed by the second phase where a deeper slower suction action of the infant is emulated . In this
phase, breast milk is expressed from the breast nipple and pumped into a bottle .
■
The silicone breast flange is equipped with a massaging function that effectively stimulates the breast to
evoke the breast milk lactation process, whilst designed to prevent reverse milk flow when it is pumped out .
■
The basic accessories for the breast pump include a wide-neck feeding bottle and an adapter enabling the
use of narrow-neck feeding bottles .
