6. PUMPING TIPS
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 by returning to the Let-
Down phase by pressing the Let-Down/Expression 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. Expressing your
breastmilk regularly will stimulate your body and help you maintain your milk supply. Just
like with breastfeeding, it is not necessary to time your pumping sessions. As you get more
experienced with pumping, 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 breastfeeding 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.
•
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.
