First week of August: It's World Breastfeeding Week from Aug. 1 to Aug. 7, the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) sponsors a campaign to educate the public about the benefits (and challenges) of breast-feeding.
WABA's theme for this year, "breastfeeding and work," a topic that's on the minds of many breast-feeding mothers who must return to the workplace, or just their regular daily routine, soon after the baby is born. In time for World Breastfeeding Week, Kohana Inc. has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the development of new breast-milk-pumping technology. The point of the hackathon was very straightforward: design a better breast pump (manual or electric devices that extract milk from the breast). Specifically, participants wanted to address two main concerns: They wanted to create a pump that doesn't make a woman feel like her breasts are being attacked by a vacuum cleaner, and a pump that is more discreet than the giant milking machines now on the market.
