How to combine breastfeeding and pumping

When You Should Pump?

We recommend breastfeeding as much as possible.

Disadvantages of pumping breast milk

It is the best way to feed your baby. However we understand that not every mom can feed on demand and be with their baby 24 hours a day. If you want to continue to provide your baby with breastmilk, a breast pump is an effective way to establish and maintain a good milk supply.

There are many reasons to pump breast milk.

• You may want to store milk for when you’re away from your baby. Maybe you’re going back to work, leaving your baby with family, friends, or a babysitter, or running errands.
• Your baby is unable to latch or feed directly from the breast.
• You want to give your baby breastmilk but don’t want to feed directly from the breast.
• You’re interested in donating milk to a milk bank or milk exchange program.
• You’re trying to increase your milk supply, are weaning and need to alleviate pressure, or are suffering from mastitis or need to drain your breast to help healing
• Many other reasons!
