Whether you've struggled with breastfeeding or want your partner to be more involved in feeding, exclusive pumping could be the way forward for you
will sit inside your bra so you can still walk around, look after your baby or do whatever you need to do rather than sitting in one spot the whole time.You can only exclusively pump after your baby is born. This is because you do not produce breastmilk until after the birth of the placenta . As soon as baby is born, you can begin to pump but it is important to set expectations on how effective exclusive pumping will be if you have not established breastfeeding first.
If possible, you should try to pump more towards the end of the day and first thing in the morning to take advantage of the Prolactin production.8+ pumps per day, two night pumps6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm, 2am6 months old - weaning:1 pump per day, 6amWhen you start expressing milk, it can be tricky to get it flowing. Boobs are not taps - you can’t just switch the flow on and fill up a bottle.
The real key is the let-down reflex, if you're not producing Oxytocin it will be harder to release milk. Many women confuse this with the fact that they do not believe they are producing enough milk when in fact it is not the production that is the issue but how you are feeling! so if there is a lack of milk being produced, this can help encourage your body to produce more milk.First and foremost you produce milk from what YOU eat and drink – so you need to look after yourself! You should drink at least 2-3 litres a day and eat small frequent meals – you need to treat exclusive pumping just like you would if you were exclusively breastfeeding.• Be in the same room as your baby, or at least look at a photo of them and think about them.
