High quality, personal-use breast pumps have become much more available to nursing mothers in the last 20 years, however the majority do not offer the same level of safety as hospital grade breast pumps do. Until recent years, hospital grade breast pumps were the only models that contained a closed milk collection system, which effectively reduces the risk of contaminants entering the expressed breast milk. The big problem with this was that hospital pumps were nowhere near affordable for the average breastfeeding mom to purchase. This required moms to either rent the hospital breast pump, or resort to purchasing a less hygienic, but more affordable personal-use breast pump.
This is no longer a dilemma because of the new wave of closed-system, personal-use breast pumps currently available to breastfeeding moms. There are a variety of manufacturers now offering this technology at much more affordable prices than hospital pumps, making hygienic breast milk expression an option for nearly all new mothers.
One of the most popular, and affordable lines of closed-system breast pumps are the Purely Yours breast pumps from Ameda. Ameda has been at the forefront of breast pump design and manufacturing for the past 60 years, and they consistently produce some of the most effective, high quality breast pumps on the market. The Ameda Purely Yours line of breast pumps is available in a variety of different pumps, including the Original Purely Yours, Carryall, Backpack, and Ultra models. Each of these models offer different accessories to help make breastfeeding easier on working mothers and stay at home moms alike.
The most important feature included in the Ameda Purely Yours line is the patented, closed-system milk collection system known as the Ameda Dual HygieniKit. This milk collection kit uses a special silicon diaphragm, which is attached to the collection bottles, and contracts to provide the suction strength require to express breast milk. By having this barrier prevent outside air and breast milk from entering the pump mechanism and tubing it makes cleaning the components significantly easier, and less time consuming, which is welcomed by mothers of infant children.
The Ameda HygieniKit also allows for sharing of breast pumps, which has always been something to be avoided for sanitary reasons. Purely Yours breast pumps can safely be used by multiple mothers when each using their own personal milk collection kit. So, if you no longer need your breast pump, you can resell it to get a little of your money back. The buyer simply needs to purchase their own HygieniKit, and they are ready to go.
Considering the affordability and effectiveness of Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pumps, there are really very few reasons to rent or purchase a hospital grade breast pump.
