Life after birth brings with it many changes. It’s not always the schedule you are used to, but it is full of blessings. The most significant challenge is how to make the best use of time in the most ideal way, and when it comes to mothers, every free minute is worth gold.

After giving birth, the daily routine changes, and there is a little sweet one who requires most of the attention. According to studies, many mothers neglect self-care and devote themselves entirely to caring for the new baby, which doesn’t really leave time for other things. So how do you get through it?

The keyword here is efficiency. Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day, and they are not always enough. One way to become more efficient is to pump milk. It allows creating a stock for times when mom is not around, it also allows others (especially dad) to enjoy magical quality time with the baby, and mainly provides the reassurance that there is always something to eat nearby, no matter what.

In recent years, there have been significant technological developments in the field of breast pumps. Only a few years ago, pumps were bulky, required wires, power outlets, and most importantly – time and effort, something mothers don’t always have.

The new double, wearable electric pump from Philips Avent is here to offer a groundbreaking solution with a smart combination of technology and innovation. It allows mothers to free up more time and turn the pumping experience into something easy, natural, and a part of life.

When Your Hands Are Free, You Get More Done

As we said, until recently the pumping experience was very, let’s call it, fixed. Breast shields connected through cables to a machine, to which you “connect” and sit in a pretty static position, sometimes even holding the shields on both sides until the pumping ends. Only mothers know how much precious time is wasted when you sit for long minutes doing nothing. You can’t even scroll endlessly on your phone. Vera is a hands-free electric breast pump, which will allow you to get twice as much done during pumping.

With Philips Avent’s wearable and innovative pump, not only will you be able to keep moving freely – you will also finish pumping twice as fast as with most other pumps.

“Many mothers are looking for comfort,” explains Angel Mashiach, a certified nurse, lactation consultant, and facilitator of baby-and-mother workshops. “We know that mothers today give up on self-care in favor of the baby. With this pump, you won’t be connected to tubes, you won’t be stuck statically to a chair, and you can continue doing household chores, drink coffee at a café, pump in the car, while watching your maternity leave series, hang laundry – in short, do everything in the most discreet and optimal way.” These are exactly the few minutes you are missing for your sanity on days of colic, teething, growth spurts, and generally – a moment for yourself.

Quiet Pumping Power That Affects Milk Supply

With an especially quiet motor, Philips Avent’s double, wearable electric pump gives you the power of a professional pump – in a compact, wearable design suited to daily life.

With a pumping rate of up to 85 pulses per minute – it is twice as fast as most pumps, offering an efficient, discreet, and personalized pumping experience.

Thanks to 8 stimulation levels for milk flow and 16 pumping levels, it mimics the baby’s natural sucking pattern, while the transparent collection cups allow you to monitor the milk flow in real time – for maximum comfort at every stage.

Specially Designed for Mothers

The innovative design includes ultra-soft silicone that adapts to body temperature and provides a natural, pleasant feeling during every pumping session.

To ensure a perfect fit, the pump includes a variety of nipple shields in different sizes – so that 99% of mothers will be able to find their exact size.

“Philips Avent focuses on nipple size, not breast size,” explains Mashiach. “Their shields, made of silicone sensitive to body heat, gently mold to the shape of the breast and provide a perfect, comfortable fit and almost complete sealing for nearly everyone.”

Supporting Milk Production

According to Mashiach, “The Philips Avent breast pump provides excellent performance and allows mothers to choose full pumping if they wish. Not every mother can or wants to breastfeed, but many want to provide breast milk. Pumping is the solution.

In addition, the pump helps encourage milk production in cases of low supply. It remembers your preferred settings and creates a personalized pumping program, so there is no need to reset it each time.”

In conclusion, breastfeeding can be a wonderful and amazing experience as long as it suits the mother, the baby, and the rest of the family. When it comes to expressed milk, others can also take part in this perfect moment of feeding the baby, which gives mothers precious time for self-care and peace of mind.
