Breastfeeding Wisdom

 A breast pump can be a useful utensil to express your breast milk. You may need to express milk frequently because you return to work or just occasionally for an evening out. This blog will explain what pump is recommended for different situations. Not all types of pumps are available on the Maltese market but can be found easily on-line.
