Breast milk is the perfect food for babies.
It contains all the vitamins, protein, minerals and antibodies needed to keep baby's immune system strong.
That is why mothers who cannot be with their baby fulltime go to the trouble of pumping their milk and storing it for baby's feedings.
Because breast pumping can be a great hassle, many nursing mothers have come to appreciate the convenience of a hands free breast pump.
Busy moms, especially those who work, often don't have time to pump their milk.
Using a hands-free pump will allow you to express milk without having to hold it down in place.
That way, you can multi-task while extracting milk for your baby.
Hands-free products allow you to read a book or answer the phone at the same time.
The Medela Freestyle Dual Electric Pump allows you to go hands-free.
You don't even have to sit in one place to pump.
You can strap both pumps to your breasts and walk around.
It is very handy especially if you have more than one child that needs to be cared for.
The device is very light, weighing in at less than one pound.
Whisper Wear also offers its own hands free breast pump.
This is a self-contained pump that you can wear inside your bra.
One disadvantage is that it is not absolutely silent and may be bothersome.
However, many mothers may find it a good option.
Aside from specially designed pumps that are hands free, another option is available for convenient breast pumping.
This is the hands-free breast pump bra.
Basically, there are two types of hands-free pumping bra, and they can fit most pumps.
One type is the halter-top bra that supports you around the neck for extra comfort.
The front has holes where you can easily hook your pump.
Another type is the bustier style.
The bra zips in front and is extremely comfortable and easy to wear.
It also has holes in front where you can insert your pump.
Both bras allow mothers to do a lot of things while pumping their breast milk.
These bras are designed to work with most breast pumps available on the market.
They help you make use of your time more productively.
There are several popular hands free pump bras available.
One is Medela's Easy Expression Hands Free Pumping Bustier.
Another popular choice is the PumpEase.
Both can be used with any electric pump and allow you to read a book, cook, shop online, read your e-mail or just relax while pumping your milk.
