How to Use a Manual Breast Pump
www.breastmates.co.nz Demonstration made by Breastmates on how to use the Medela Harmony Manual breast pump. This movie shows a distinction on how this breast pump works with the two phases - firstly quick pumping to stimulate milk let down. Then when the milk starts flowing, you switch to the other end of the handle for slower longer pumps. Like a baby does when sucking. Breastmates.co.nz

Precision Scientific Pumping in the Laboratory
A device that is taken for granted in the scientific, medical, and research laboratories is the precision scientific pump. This simple yet extremely useful machine does the work of what could be manual tasks and is usually overlooked until it breaks down. The laboratory scientific pumps in today's instruments have not changed much in many years; because they work well in the configuration they are currently designed.
The main types of scientific pumping used today are peristaltic pumps. This design was necessitated in the development of the dialysis machine, which is used when a patient's kidneys fail to filter contaminants and waste materials from the blood. The pump was designed so that when pumping blood through the machine, the blood would not be damaged in the pumping process. The peristaltic pump is so named because of the action on the tubing used to transport the fluids.
Peristalsis is the action of squeezing a tube linearly in sequence, moving fluid in a forward motion. The round peristaltic pump design is simple: Rollers are set inside a spinning wheel, and the rollers rest on top of the tubing holding the fluid. As the wheel spins, this squeezes the tubing in a flowing and constant manner, thus pushing the fluid along the tubing without damaging it.
This design is incorporated in precision scientific pumps. The motor that is attached to the pumping system can be step-driven, or made to respond in very small increments. This can give an exact amount of fluid to the instruments that are doing the testing procedures. As the motor steps rotationally, the peristaltic rollers push the fluid in the exact calibrated amount, thus acting as an autopipette system for administering precision doses of reagents or samples.
Other scientific pumps are piston controlled. Many medical analytical instruments use this type of pump for the rinsing of probes, the mixing of reagents, and even the mixing of samples and diluents. Many of these piston scientific pumps are used for the purified water delivery system. They can be calibrated and adjusted for temperature variations and type of fluid used.
There are air pumps that use air pressure to move a membrane in a pumping motion. The fluid needing to be moved is on the other side of the membrane, and as the air pressure moves on the opposite side, the flexing of the membrane pumps the fluid through valves that are arranged to keep a constant flow of liquid. These types of scientific pumps can be calibrated to give a certain pressure flow, or even be used to increase fluid pressure within the instruments' tubing system.
Some scientific pumping is done by gravity and precision valve control. The reagent is installed above the work area, and as reagent is needed, precision valve systems are controlled electronically to deliver the precise amount of the reagent during the instruments run.
Another scientific pumping method is done by impeller. This is useful when mixing the purified water or other reagents prior to testing. The impeller can be electronically controlled to run at precision speeds or times, and are excellent for mixing.
It is plainly seen that the scientific pumps listed are needed and taken for granted. As they work hard in the background, we will only notice them when they stop working properly.

Breastfeeding - Jiggling & Pulling Due To Low Breast Milk Flow
This is an older baby, about 3 or 4 months of age, whose mother's breast milk production has decreased. Following Early Good Weight Gain by the mother, for some reasons this decrease in milk production might occur. Some of the reasons that may result in a decreased milk production include the mother's usage of a hormonal birth control method (including hormone releasing intrauterine devices or intra-vaginal hormone releasing rings). The mother's feeding one breast at a feeding "as a rule" instead of "finishing" one side and then offering the other. The baby is jiggling and unsettled at the breast because the flow of milk is slow. Note that he hardly drinks at the breast (very few pauses, see the videos Really Good Drinking, and Good Drinking - available at our Channel), though his chin is a little bit difficult to see. This sort of behavior is often said to be due to an over rapid milk flow but by watching the chin one can see that this behavior in this case is due to too slow milk flow. However, babies pull at the breast more frequently because the flow of milk is slow rather than because the flow of milk is "too rapid". Note that giving such babies bottles, may quickly result in their refusing to latch on. NOTE This video is courtesy of Newman Breastfeeding Clinic and Institute (NBCI).

When to Use a Breast Pump
For many years now, the world has been told that one of the best gifts that a mother could give to her baby is to breast-feed (nourish) him or her. Due to this, many people have been actively pushing for parents to choose breast-feeding over formula. However, with providing ones baby with the best food, comes with its own challenges and due to them, a pump can be very useful.
Some of these challenges are:
Engorgement
Breast engorgement (enlargement and overflowing of the breast due to milk) is a common occurrence for women who have just given birth. This painful and at times fever causing issue, can be handled in a few ways and three of them are: breast feeding the baby even more often than you are doing presently, expressing some of the milk with your fingers and of course use a pump.
Medication
There are differences of opinions when it comes to medication transferring from the mother to the baby via nursing. Nevertheless, there are cases where mothers who are on medication will need to stop nursing for at least 12 hours and this is where a pump will come in handy. You can store some of your milk in the refrigerator or freezer before taking the medication so that your child remains well fed.
Away from Baby
If you are a mom who will be working away from home, pumping and storing your milk will also be profitable for you and your baby.
Bonding for Fathers
Breast-feeding is one of the best ways that a mother can bond with her child and bottle-feeding breast milk is an avenue that fathers can use to bond with their child as well. At nights when mummy can hardly open her eyes to attend to the baby, daddy can step in by taking the bottle.
Measurements
"New" mothers are usually anxious about how much milk their babies are getting and therefore desire to know exactly how much they are drinking. Therefore, by pumping the milk into a baby's bottle will give you the measurement.
Therefore, if you believe that a pump will be helpful to you, you have a choice of three types to choose from and they are electric, battery operated and manual.
