Emmaus – September 07, 2026 -- Parents juggling unpredictable work and childcare schedules can maintain breastfeeding routines by choosing pumps built for flexibility rather than fixed routines, according to Patty Gatter, Breast Pump Expert and CEO of The Breastfeeding Shop in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. Her insights appear in a new HelloNation feature on selecting breast pumps for busy lifestyles.

Wearable pumps let parents multitask during sessions

Gatter explains that wearable breast pumps fit inside a nursing bra, freeing parents from sitting near an outlet during each session. This design allows parents to answer emails, handle household tasks, or care for their baby while pumping, rather than pausing their day entirely.

WIESBADEN -- September 01, 2026 -- Germans in their twenties face starkly different dating odds depending on their age, according to new population data released by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). At the end of 2025, there were only 912 women for every 1,000 men aged 18 to 29 nationwide, the sharpest gender gap of any age group. That imbalance flips dramatically later in life: among people 65 and older, there were 1,260 women for every 1,000 men.

The pattern holds for younger age brackets too. Among those under 18, there were 947 women per 1,000 men, and among 30- to 49-year-olds, 969 women per 1,000 men. Destatis attributed part of the gap to biology -- about 5% more boys than girls are born each year -- and part to migration patterns, since somewhat more men than women have moved to Germany.
