With technology’s help, breastfeeding is now made easier! We list down our top breastfeeding gadgets.
For Mothers-on-the-go
The Hegen PCTO™ electric breast pump (SGD$395*) is the perfect tool for mothers on the go. The compact and light (230g) device comes with a special patent-pending relaxation function that helps ease sore muscles, and helps to stimulate milk supply and reduce breast engorgement.
Dedicated to take a mother through every step of her breastfeeding journey, the PCTO™ electric breast pump also comes with the a manual breast pump convertor kit, giving mothers the flexibility of switching from a single to double pump, or from our PCTO™ electric pump to a manual pump – by replacing the eCap (a plastic electric cap converter), eDiaphragm (a silicon electric cap converter) and silicon tubes with the stem, the diaphragm and the manual breast pump handle.
The device has a micro-USB charging port that allows for easy power bank charging and hassle-free charging on the go when you don’t have access to a power point to charge your device.
