Recently I visited a friend who has a newborn and seeing her reminds me of the benefits of breastfeeding. For years, breastfeeding is recognized as one of the most valuable medical contributors to infant health.
Some of the benefits of breastfeeding your infant include providing natural immunity against diseases, fewer infections, less allergies, less gastrointestinal disorders, lower incidence of SIDS, and a decreased risk of contracting diabetes.
One gear you will definitely find handy in breastfeeding is the use of a breast pump. Not only handy, it offers flexibility as you don’t have to be there when your infant needs the milk 
But do you know which kind of breast pump is best for you? There are many styles and models of breast pumps that most new mothers find it so difficult to choose a suitable one. So, Choosing a Breast Pump guide is necessary. Go read it for some tips.
When you come to purchasing a good breast pump, there is no place to go except Ameda Purly Yours Breast Pump as the have a hugh collection of breast pumps and related accessories. Some of the well known brands such as Avent, Medela, and Ameda are available.
My favorite breast pump has to be the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump which is the only FDA approved breast pump on the market. Their patented HygieniKit system protects expressed breast milk from contaminants to safeguard our baby’s health. This lightweight pump is perfect for active mothers!

Sorry, but I always feel I must make a little correction to the statement that the Ameda Purely Yours is the only FDA approved breast pump. Technically, the breast pump itself has not been approved, but Ameda’s claims about the effectiveness of the Hygienikit. As it says on the Hollister website “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed and cleared the claim that the patented silicone diaphragm used in the Ameda HygieniKit milk collection system creates a barrier that protects both:
Collected breast milk from potential contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria that may be present in the pump and or kit tubing AND Pump and kit tubing from potential contaminants, such as virus and bacteria, that may be present in collected milk. The Ameda HygieniKit is the only breast milk collection system with FDA clearance to make this strong protective claim.” http://www.hollister.com/us/mbc/breastfeeding/resource/study.html. Ameda admits that the use of the Hygienikit may be most relevant for premature or ill infants. No one has done a study to suggest that infants fed on milk expressed by other brands of breast pumps are sicker. That said, there are other considerations mothers may have in purchasing a breast pump, suitability for daily or occasional use, comfort, convenience, features, price, ease of finding replacement parts, integration with bottle systems. In my opinion, I still say the Ameda Purely Yours is a great breast pump, usually sold at a great price, but the importance of the Hygienikit to the breast pump buyer is matter of personal preference.
