Pumping Tips
The most important part of successful pumping is the ability to trigger the let-down
reflex. This is when your milk begins to flow freely. Warm wet compresses applied
to the breasts and gentle, circular massaging of the breasts prior to and/or during
a pumping session can help encourage this natural reflex. Thinking of or looking at
your baby, or a photo of your baby if you are apart, can also be helpful.
Some moms can achieve more than one let-down during a pumping session. You
may be able to achieve a second or third let-down during your pumping session
by returning to the Stimulation phase by pressing the Stimulation/Expresion Toggle
Button .
How Long To Pump
Double pumping, compared to single pumping, will reduce the time you spend
expressing your milk. Breastmilk is produced on a supply and demand basis and
by expressing your breastmilk regularly, your body will be stimulated and you will be
able to maintain your milk supply. Just like with breastfeeding, it is not necessary to
time your pumping sessions though you will get a better sense of the time it takes
for your body to express your milk using a breast pump. If you have any breastfeed-
ing or breastpump related questions, consult with an International Board Certified
Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), breastfeeding counselor, or other healthcare provider
such as your primary physician.
Pumping and Feeding Tips
●
You may pump one breast while nursing the baby on the other. This allows you
to maximize pumping effectiveness using the let-down reflex stimulated by your
baby’s sucking.
●
You may pump into any standard sized screw-top bottle or container.
●
Should you choose to use the Lansinoh bottle with a nipple of your own, please
take the following precautions:
●
Always test the temperature of any liquid before feeding your baby.
●
Do not let a child take a bottle to bed or self-feed for long periods.
●
To prevent possible choking hazard, test strength of the nipple by pulling
on the bulb portion. Discontinue use if any tear or crack appears.
