I self-fed my baby because it was good for her, but she wasn't the only one who got to reap the benefits of it. My husband loved to be fed too and I loved feeding him, but what would happen when he wasn't around? One night, I answered that question when I found out that self-expressing could be great. I was so engorged and needed some relief. That's when my new hands-free pump came in handy. I could relieve my breasts while using my free hands to relieve something else.
