The period of breastfeeding for a mother is not just a moment of bonding for her and her baby. It is also a time to create lasting memories. According to World Health Organization, breastmilk is the perfect food for a newborn. They recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, then up to two years and beyond while introducing additional foods. Though, due to many factors, such as a mother combining work and nursing her baby, getting breast milk readily available may be challenging. However, with Elvie’s breast pump invention, breast milk pumping has been made a whole lot easier.
