5 genius baby products to make mom’s life easier
1. Elvie Pump
Discreet breast pumps aren’t exactly new, but this one looks like it’s going to be a game changer. The Elvie Pump is a small, silent breast pump that you can wear under your bra and clothes so you’re free to go about your daily tasks without worrying about your baby’s milk supply. It’s battery-operated and rechargeable via a USB plug, so other people won’t even notice you’re pumping! There’s also an app you can download on your phone to use as a remote control, monitor your milk, and view your pumping session history.
What you’ll love: The expressed breastmilk is collected in a BPA free, 5-ounce reusable container so you can transfer it to whatever storage you prefer! It will also automatically detect a let-down and pause when the container is full.
Where to get it: It’s awaiting FDA approval in the United States, so for now it’s only available in the United Kingdom starting at £249.00 (around Php17,000). But it will be sold in Amazon, according to their company website. If you’re interested, you can learn more about Elvie Pump through their website and join the waiting list here.ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOWWhat other parents are reading

See what else we found here.)
