​​​​​​​​A support kit for breastfeeding mums

pumping milk for their babies in Irish hospitals


Hello,

I created PumpPal as a not-for-profit company to provide support to breastfeeding mums of sick and premature babies in Irish hospitals.

A PumpPal supplies a mum with items:

  • to look after herself in hospital
  • to take care of a breast pump safely in hospital
  • to bond with her baby she may be separated from due to incubator-care

Most importantly, PumpPals are intended to show breastfeeding mums of hospitalised babies that they are not alone: there are people who understand what they are going through and want to help. You can purchase a PumpPal for your loved one in the 'Buy Now' section.
