Using a breast pump is something that has to be learned. Be patient, even if you are not able to meet your expectations right away. There are a number of tips that will help you get used to your pumping routine and help you handle your pump correctly.
Dr. Alexander J. A Popular Gynecologists in Hong Kong.
Many breastfeeding mothers who are nearing the end of maternity leave want to continue giving their babies breast milk when they return to work, but the concept of pumping and feeding the baby from a bottle may be foreign to them. After all, nursing doesn't require any paraphernalia.
If you're about to embark upon this transition, you're probably wondering what equipment you'll need. The most important item, naturally, is the breast pump.
"Mothers returning to work after their milk supplies are established will need a pump that withdraws milk as effectively as possible but is also portable and convenient," says New Jersey-based lactation consultant Diana West, IBCLC, coauthor of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, 8th Edition.
Read on to determine what features to seek in a pump, how often to use it, and what else to buy.
You want to store milk for when you are away from your baby. You may be going back to work, leaving the baby with family or friends or just going to the store.
Your baby can not latch or feed directly from the breast, in this case you may exclusively pump and feed your baby breast milk from a cup or bottle.
You are donating milk to a milk bank or milk exchange program.
Tons of other reasons! You may be weaning and trying to alleviate pressure (pump until the pain goes away, do not drain your breast), you could be trying to increase your supply and simulating cluster feeding, you could be suffering from mastitis or need to drain your breast to help healing and so many more reasons!
Breastfeeding and Pumping
If you are primarily breastfeeding and want to pump to store breast milk for your baby:
Pump in the morning, many women get the most milk first thing in the morning!
Pump between breastfeeding, either 30-60 minutes after nursing or at least an hour before breastfeeding. This should leave plenty of milk for your baby at your next feeding.
If your baby wants to breastfeed right after a pumping, go ahead. Some babies are patient and will just feed longer to get the milk they need.
