New Insights into Breast Physiology and Breast Expression and Development of the Symphony Breastpump
Human Lactation - The Science of the Art Series

The first volume in a series on the Science behind the Art of Human Lactation, "New Insights into Breast Physiology and Breast Expression" explains, in simple terms, research by Professor Peter Hartmann and the Human Lactation Research Group at The University of Western Australia that has resulted in the development of the microprocessor-controlled Symphony breastpump.

Along the way, the history of human breastfeeding, the development of milking machines for the dairy industry, and expression of the human breast is explored.
