Shouldn't a breast pump be as elegant as an iPhone and quiet as a Prius? This questions both angered Samantha and motivated her. She also thought, “why hadn’t someone already invented this?”
For the unfamiliar, breast pumps are loud and bulky. It basically forces women to hide if they're lucky in a lactation room, but more often in a bathroom or a supply closet.
Samantha explains, “there is a tell - tell noise that it makes. They are essentially a hard plastic funnel connected to a baby bottle that hangs off the breast.” And she reminds us, "it’s based on technology that was used for dairy cows that is decades old."
In today's episode, we interview Samantha Rudolph, Co-founder and CEO of Babyation. Babyation creates a space where women can navigate breastfeeding and pumping with care, support, and products designed for their holistic needs. The pumps feature sound reduction, data logging, mobile device integration, and breast shields.
