• Eases engorgement- swollen, hard and painful breasts can be a discomfort to the mother and pumping out this excessive milk might just be the solution a mother is looking for. 
• Increased comfort for the mother, it is easy, safe, clean and works wonders for a mom who is physically at a distance from her baby. It also reduces nipple soreness and injury though a mom wouldn’t care too much about this when it comes to the expense of her baby’s nutrition.
