For mothers who exclusively pump, what strategies can help them maintain and increase their milk supply?

2y ago

Hi Jessica! Thank you for your question! For mums who exclusively pump, here are my recommendations: - Ensure that milk is regularly removed from the breasts according to a baby's nursing interval i.e. pumping every 2-3 hours just like how a newborn will nurse, to build the milk supply. - Kickstart the process right after birth of removing colostrum through hand expression to get the milk production going - Breast massages before pumping are helpful - Hand compressions can help to increase milk flow - Check that you have the right pump parts - Drink plenty of water, take a healthy diet and rest aplenty to keep your milk supply up! The foundational strategy remains as always - more milk removed from breasts, more milk produced. To increase and maintain milk supply, you'd have to work on removing the milk first. Hope this helps!
