The cool breast pump ad that imagines what would happen if men breastfed and had to express milk at work

31

Have you ever wondered what would happen if men had breasts and could breastfeed their babies? Naya Health, a Silicon Valley start-up creator of the smallest breast pump on the market, has created an ironic advertisement from a hypothetical perspective: assuming that they are the ones who breastfeed and have to express milk at work .

Things look very different, and it is certainly something that makes us think. Would it be easier if it were them? Would there be more understanding on the part of companies and bosses? According to the announcement, it would be a more normalized act at work, it would even be a reason for a meeting between colleagues, and of course there would be no lack of technology, comparing who has the best extractor device. Nor would there be a lack of food and entertainment.

Besides being super fun, it has a powerful message behind it. Logically it is something impossible, it will never happen, but it is time that it was easier and more normal for working mothers to continue breastfeeding their babies for as long as they both want. Starting with a minimum of six months of maternity leave, which is the minimum time of exclusive breastfeeding recommended by the WHO and then having greater facilities to express and preserve milk.

Mixed breastfeeding in twins: how to organize to feed two babies

The WHO recommends that babies under six months be exclusively breastfed. Mothers who have twins or fraternal twins are capable of producing milk for both of them, since we know that the greater the stimulation, the greater the production of milk; women in these cases can produce... up to 2 liters of milk a day!

Does your baby "tune in" to the nipple while nursing? Why does it do...

Does your baby play and touch the nipple that is free while he is sucking on the other one? This is a behavior popularly known as "tuning" (the child moves the nipple as if tuning a radio), and although it is completely normal and natural, it can be uncomfortable for some mothers.
