When to use a breast pump?
If possible, wait until lactation stabilizes, which usually occurs within 2-4 weeks after birth.
Exceptions to this rule:
•
If your breasts produce too much milk, they become swollen and hard (engorged). Expressing a small amount of
milk before or during a feed can give you relief and help your baby to grasp the nipple.
•
If you have inverted nipples (which may occur because of long intervals between feeds).
•
If you have a concave, flat or damaged nipples (using a breast pump can improve nipple shape).
•
If you feel overflow between breastfeeds and do not want to wake the baby.
•
The baby is sick and does not want to suckle.
•
If your breasts produce too little milk. Using the pump between feeds will help increase milk production.
•
When you are working or away from home and want to continue breastfeeding, you should regularly express
milk using a breast pump to sustain the natural process of lactation.
How often should you express milk?
If mother cannot breastfeed temporarily it is recommended to express milk using breast pump at least 8 times for
every 24 hours. This will keep the lactation at the appropriate level. In the beginning you may experience difficulty
in expressing larger amount of milk, but after a few days you will be expressing more.
Also during stabilized lactation, possibility of single expression is smaller (30-60 ml), that is why collecting one
portion of milk may require several sessions.
