More mothers may be turning to breast pumps.
Time (3/11, Sharick) reported, "Although there is no official tally of the number of women who pump exclusively, numerous conversations with mothers suggest that the practice is not uncommon and perhaps even growing." The reasons for forgoing breastfeeding "are varied: some mothers say they dislike the feeling of a suckling" infant; "others say it is painful or that the baby fails to latch" on; and there are those who struggle with a lack of time or "want to avoid the uncomfortable possibility of having to breastfeed in public." But while "technology has helped fuel the trend," the push for breastfeeding is still being supported by some "lactation experts" and research on the benefits to both mother and child.
