Bringing breast pump to hospital
Hello, I’m giving birth at KKH under private. Is there a need to pack breast pump into hospital bag? Some mums say yes, some say no. Those who brought your breast pump, did you get to use it? Thank you :) #firsttimemom
Hi, i just delivered at KKH under private too. didnt bring breastpump as I don't have milk yet. Nurses keep encouraging skin to skin & teaching me how to latch baby. keep checking if my boobs have any milk. and 2nd day they ask if i want to use their electric pump, i declined, they won't force either. My milk only started coming in when i'm home on 3rd day after delivery.
Read morei brought my own breast pump for the lactation nurse there to see if the flange size matches my nipple size . also, cause my bb refuses to latch, I was using my electric pump while staying there
Didn't bring pump to hospital as my milk supply only started coming when I got back home, on my 4th day for my firstborn and 2nd day for my 2nd child.
I’m under Gleneagles. The nurses will bring my baby in every 2-3 hours for latching. So for me, no nid to bring breast pump
there will be a one time charge if u use their pump. if not u can bring ur own pump and they can help steriize
Mine was TMC, I did use it through out but the amount is pathetic. Hand express will do 😂.
kkh will provide pump and will teach u how to do a proper pump, be it machine or manual.
Im giving birth there too in few weeks time and bringing along incase i need it
Thank you everyone for your replies!! :)
KKH will provide electrical pump
