If Freexpressions does not work for you, look below for other options.
My goal in creating Freexpressions was to find a quick, uncomplicated solution to enable mothers to gain a little freedom to meet some basic needs, and more all while pumping milk for their babies.
As a registered nurse and lactation consultant, I have been assisting new families with breastfeeding for over 23 years. A number of my clients are in situations where they need to use a breast pump. Many find the process restrictive & time-consuming.
This is especially true for mothers with premature or sick infants; as well as mothers faced with breastfeeding challenges that necessitate long-term pumping. These breast pumping moms sacrifice meeting their needs to provide optimal nutrition for their babies.
"gives mothers back some of their time".
Hands-free breast pumping gives mothers back some of their time. Though mostly a sedentary activity, breast pumping does not have to restrict access to items a mother might want. When using a hands-free pumping device like Freexpressions, all that’s necessary is situating items within reach. Mothers can have something to eat or drink, the TV remote, a cordless phone, a book, newspaper or magazine to read, the ability write a letter, work on the computer; or any number of activities that are in close proximity.
Freexpressions isn’t fancy or expensively packaged. It’s a practical, no-frills solution to enable hands-free breast pumping. It is a functional, versatile and simple-to-use product. Freexpressions takes only a few seconds to put in place and remove. It does not require special bras, adapters or clothing. It can be used with most nursing bras or without a bra. It does not require removal of clothing to operate . Please compare Freexpressions to the many other quality products that allow mothers this same freedom of movement (see the image links to the left).
Freexpressions is assembled and packaged at Northwest Center in Seattle. Northwest Center provides people with disabilities fair-wage work opportunities as well as supportive & educational services. Go to Northwest Center's website to find out more about their program.
Designing a product that benefits the people who make it and the mothers who use it is very gratifying.
