Stepping Hill Hospital - Breast Pump (10-039)

1 x Electric Breast Pump

Breast milk is important for all babies, but for those with health problems it can be life-saving. When mothers are kept on the high risk delivery suite for any length of time, it is usually due to serious complications which mean the baby might be in the neo natal unit or the mother might be unable to feed naturally.

When that happens, it is important for breast milk to be expressed so the baby can still receive the milk.

We have been asked to provide a hospital grade electric breast pump. This is an electric breast pump that is more effective at expressing milk than the handheld pumps.

New mothers struggle to express and many may be ill or suffering from the effects of a traumatic labour.
