Think of baby products, many parents will associate it with PIGEON! Why? That’s because, PIGEON is one of the world’s most trusted brand of baby products. It is dedicated to meeting the needs of mothers and children by offering innovative, affordable, comfortable and convenient products.

DEDICATION TO RESEARCH

Breast milk is the best for babies and PIGEON wants to help enable babies to receive the benefits of breast milk from mothers at any time. For the past 50 years, PIGEON has been tirelessly conducting extensive studies in product development at its R&D facilities in Japan and Singapore, as well as collaborating with paediatricians, health care professionals and university researchers to support breastfeeding. PIGEON has identified three key factors for effective breast milk expression: Fit, Gentle Stimulation and Expression.

The new breastfeeding products by PIGEON with enhanced features that cater to the needs of both mother and infant are in the market and they are – Electric Breast Pump Pro, Electric Breast Pump Portable and Manual Breast Pump are retailing at all major department stores and baby product shops. The pumps boast two new features – Comfort ProperFit™ Soft Silicone Cushion and 2-Phase Technology.

NEW FEATURES OF PIGEON’S BREAST PUMPS

Comfort ProperFit™ Soft Silicone Cushion
Made from soft and flexible silicone, PIGEON’S patented cushion is air-tight and moulds easily to the breast, providing a secure seal and comfortable fit that prevents air leakage during expression, which allows mothers to maximise milk flow. Based on research on Asian mothers in particular, PIGEON has customised two cushion sizes – regular (23mm in diameter) and large (27mm in diameter) – which are included in each breast pump set.

2-Phase Technology: Stimulation and Expression Mode
The breast pumps are designed with two modes that enable mothers to successfully express milk efficiently.

Mothers who need help to stimulate the breast can use the stimulation mode where the pump is able to mimic a baby’s natural sucking rhythm that sends a milk ‘let-down’ signal to the breast to initiate milk flow.

Mothers can also enjoy customisable pumping with the expression mode that provides varying levels of suction power and speed, giving them the option of expressing milk in a shorter time. This helps mothers to express the hind milk – the high-fat and calorie-rich breast milk usually only present in the last stage of breastfeeding – more quickly. The hind milk helps babies to feel full for longer between feeds.
