Do you need WiFi to use the Solo™ Hands-free breast pump? It goes without saying the easy part is talking about the benefits. Breastfeeding and/or pumping is exhausting work for any mother and is done out of pure devotion and love for her most cherished gift – her baby. It’s no surprise that when a mother does not meet her intended goals of breastfeeding, it takes a significant emotional toll. It is so important to educate a mother and her support system on the benefits of an exclusive human milk diet so they can make an informed decision about their own personal breastfeeding goals. These goals are different for all mothers. Breastfeeding and/or pumping needs to be prioritized with a sense of urgency. The first few hours, days and weeks are critical to ensure a mother is initiating appropriately and effectively to support long-term milk production.

A term infant receives the benefit of immunity from mother as well as a decreased risk of diseases over a lifetime. Breastfed infants are 13% less likely to become overweight or obese as children or teenagers, which lowers their risk of associated conditions, including type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and a number of cancers.⁶⁻⁸ Solo™ Hands-free has been anatomically designed to fit comfortably to most breast and nipple shapes.
