Resheda Hagen was a breastfeeding mother in the 1970s that experienced many of the problems that still drive mothers away from natural feedings today.
She suffered from excruciatingly sore nipples and found that all the products on the market were either ineffective or painful to use.
Before she gave in to weaning, her husband, a physician, brought home a jar of the cream lanolin for her to apply in hopes that it would make the experience more comfortable.
The results were profound.
She simply applied the cream and immediately felt its soothing sensation, and didn't even need to remove it before feedings.
She presented her findings to a large corporation and was abruptly turned away.
So, in 1984, Hagen founded Lansinoh in her house in Portland, Oregon.
Over the years, the company has grown from producing that one cream to developing a whole line of breast therapies, breast pumps, and accessories for nursing mothers.
It has received multiple endorsements from prominent organizations, such as the La Leche League International.
A mother founded the company, so they still retain that genuine dedication to truly help women that are having trouble establishing a successful breastfeeding relationship with their baby.
Lansinoh offers a wide variety of products, including 2 quality breast pumps.
The Lansinoh Double Electric Breast Pump is designed for quick and effective pumping, and is perfect for long-term use for new mothers.
It is compact, clean, and affordable.
Its features include adjustable sped and suction, built in milk holders to prevent spills, and a patented system that keeps milk from backing up into the tubing.
They also offer the Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump.
It's more of a portable, even easier option for mothers who pump occasionally.
Its small size allows it to fit securely and discreetly in any bag, and a SoftSeal cushion, which makes it easier to pump by hand and prevents fatigue.
The manual pump contains very few parts, and is super-easy to use.
It has no intricate and complex assembly instructions; just pump! To compliment their pumps, Lansinoh makes a number of accessories to make the whole process easier for mothers.
For the mom on the go, they offer the Lansinoh Double Electric Pump Carry Bag and Cooler.
It makes for very easy transport and storage for mothers who are pumping at work with the double electric breast pump.
Should they need more storage, the company produces Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bottles and bags to keep a steady supply of milk available.
What separates Lansinoh from other companies is their genuine dedication to help mothers.
It was founded by a mother who knew what it was like - the problems, drawbacks, and disappointments that come along with unsuccessful nursing.
She continues that attitude throughout the entire company, so that their products and service reflect the core values on which Lansinoh was founded.
