Hospital Grade? What does it mean?

I have been itching to write a post like this for soooo long. So, I won’t admit how long this was sitting in my notes 📝 But how the heck do you get anything done with ✌🏼 kids?? Someone give me some advice please!

Anyways, I want to talk about something that often gets misunderstood in the world of breastfeeding: ‘hospital-grade’ breast pumps. 🤱🏻💪🏻
Many of us have heard the term "hospital-grade" and automatically assumed that these are superior to other options. But that is not always the case🚫

Remember💡
“There are no standards or regulations that define exactly what suction decibel a breast pump needs to have in order to be considered "hospital strength."
