double electric breast pump image
Danielle E
Im currently 9 months pregnant and i plan on breast feeding my baby, with a pump. My mom keeps telling me i have to feed her the natural way and should use formula for when i go to work. Is it okay for me to get a double electric breast pump and just pump all of her milk? I really don't want to do the "natural thing"? That way her dad can feed her and she can still get good breast milk even if im not home.

Of course you can my baby went to NICU after she was born and I couldn't nurse so I pumped the day she was born... Pumping can be very painful I got scabs on my nipples... Breast milk is the best option my pediatrician said they get all the nutrients they need from it by 6 months... good luck to you...

How do I increase my breast milk supply?
*!`shenayn
I want to increase my breast milk supply. I use a double electric breast pump and I don't pump at night because my baby sleep all through the night but I try to pump right before bed and when I wake up, while my baby is still sleeping! How often should i pump? Should I maybe start having a pump session through the night? Is there anything I can do as far as eating and drinking that can help? Any tips would be awesome! Thanks :)

If you can, pump once in the middle of the night. Have the pump set up beside your bed, and just sit up and pump for about 15 minutes. Put the bottle in the fridge, and go back to sleep. During the day, put your baby to the breast more often. I read on kellymom.com that the best way to increase your supply is to nurse more often, even if its for comfort. I was having a really hard time increasing my supply until I tried that method. If my daughter got antsy and just wanted to suck for comfort, instead of giving her a binkie, I let her nurse. I put her to the breast about 4 more times than normal, and within a couple of days my supply started to really increase. And increased more when I started pumping once a day. Good luck, you're doing a good job!
