A lovely story of one Mother helping another with their breastfeeding journey, just a little twist to it, the Moms aren't the same species.

Zoe the orangutan, who was orphaned young and may not have learned to nurse, successfully breastfed less than 24 hours after the live demonstration.

A helpful post from the team at GROW

Monkeypox is a disease caused by the monkeypox virus. It enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), the respiratory tract or the eyes, nose, or mouth.

We have seen some problems associated with these pumps at our clinic too, mostly low milk supply. I suggest waiting until your supply is well established and breastfeeding going well before using them.
