Professional Breastpumps

The Lactina Breastpump is recommended for the following situations:

  1. Sore Nipples
  2. Occasional separation
  3. Engorement: A gentle pump is useful if the baby is having difficulty removing enough milk to bring relief or to soften nipple to help baby latch on.
  4. Sore breasts, plugged milk ducts, or breast infections
  5. Flat and inverted nipples are not uncommon. Over time, nipple tissue will become more elastic. Pumping can help this process.
  6. A breast pump can protect the milk supply of a mother who must travel.
  7. Trip Away from Baby or Lengthier Separation from Baby
  8. Full or Part-time Employment: If you are away from your baby for part or most of the days you will appreciate a pump that helps you keep a good milk supply.

For each of these situations, guidance from a health care provider or lactation consultant (IBCLC) is recommended.
