Global Breastfeeding Supplies Market: Restraint
Increasing problems related to operating breast pumps are major restrains to growth of the global breastfeeding supplies market over the forecast period. The problems related to breast pump are:
- Blocked ducts: Many women experience blocked ducts during breast pumping. This happens when the milk that has not been secreted completely from the breasts gets clogged and infected. It leads to soreness in the breasts. It can also cause fever and nausea.
- Soreness and dryness: Due to the constant pressure on the nipples, new mothers may experience discomfort. Pumping regularly can also make the nipples dry, cracked and sore.
- Exhaustion: Faced by almost all mothers who breast pump, exhaustion is bound to happen as milk needs to be pumped multiple times a day.
- Hand pain: While using a manual breast pump, one might experience pain. The motion needed to operate a hand pump can lead to muscle soreness and cramps.
- Finding the right place: It is usually an embarrassing thing to pump milk if in inappropriate places around sleazy people. It can lead to anxiety, awkwardness, and growing discomfort.
