When my child was a newborn, it was incredibly difficult to even think about feeding the never satisfied baby. Breastfeeding is quite honestly one of the most difficult tasks a mother is faced with on a daily basis and may not be an option for some. In her new blog post, Jessica Martin-Weber breaches the topic of getting more value from your breast pumping time by proposing feeding and pumping together and provides a step by step guide on how you can get started today.
Key Takeaways:
- Pumping breast milk can be an option for lactating mothers but it is not every lactating mother will want to take this route to reach their breastfeeding goals.
- The primary way that mothers can ensure that they have sufficient breast milk in their breasts is to empty the breasts at a regular basis.
- The output of breast milk is different from supply and one should distinguish between providing milk to a baby and just getting the milk out.
