From the Manufacturer
Unlike other pumps that tug and pull the nipple, the Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Electric Breast Pump works by using patented One-Way airflow in combination with a unique honeycomb liner that gently and rhythmically stimulates the nipple to increase Prolactin and Oxytocin production, which insures an increased milk supply, faster let-downs, and a healthier baby. Dr. Brown's Natural Flow breast pump is the only pump to offer this combination for mom and baby.
Product Description
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Electric Breast Pump, utilizing Whittlestone(R) Hospital Technologies, is the first pump to truly simulate a baby expressing milk. Other breast pumps currently on the market utilize a Two-Way airflow, creating a "suck and release" motion that tugs and pulls on the mother's nipple. Conversely, when a baby is feeding at the breast, they express milk by latching, and using soft compressions with their tongue, mouth and jaw. Similarly, the Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Breast Pump's patented One-Way airflow in combination with its unique ultra-soft honeycomb liner rhythmically massages the areola, while gently compressing the nipple to increase Prolactin and Oxytocin production, which ensures an increased milk supply, better let down, and a healthier baby. Unlike Two-Way airflow pumps that can push germs into the breast through the open milk ducts, Dr. Brown's unique One-Way airflow continuously draws air and any present germs away from the breast, thus reducing the likelihood of breast infections. Clinically proven to provide pain-free relief of engorgement (an intense, painful swelling of the breasts), which allows mom to quickly and comfortably nurse her baby or pump. Dr. Brown's features large, easy-to-handle parts that make setup, use and cleaning fast and easy.
