Breast Pumps Can Help!
Babies can drink breast milk even while mothers are at work or away from the child. Breast pumps allow mothers to store breast milk for babies to drink later.
Health departments often have breast pumps you can borrow to encourage mothers to breastfeed their new babies. You can also buy them at many department stores and drug stores.
