Pumping breast milk is mostly unpleasant. A bulky, noisy machine with two hard plastic flanges fiercely pulls at the nipples. “Nipples don’t look like udders,” says Samantha Rudolph, co-founder and CEO of Babyation. The Pump’s patented suction technology mimics how babies suckle, which she says is gentler than traditional breast pumps. The FDA-approved device includes soft silicone breast shields, a discreet tubing system, a quiet motor, and bottles—all in a carrying case with cooling to preserve milk. An app lets you customize pump settings, view pumping history, and more.
