What message does this send to the individual woman who failed at breastfeeding due to an inappropriate or defective pump? Why should such a mother be left with a pump that doesn’t work for her?

The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate whether breast pumping using a hospital-grade electric pump was more effective in maximizing the available milk volume and more comfortable than manual expression in the first 48 h after birth.
Net milk yield per woman was 2 mL manually (median; range: 0–12.6 mL) and 0.6 mL (0–7.2 mL) by electric expression (P < 0.05). The frequency of women stating no pain was higher for electric pumping than manual expression (90% vs 36%, respectively; P < 0.05). Conclusions: In the early postpartum period, the best way to obtain colostrum is by gentle manual expression.
