Hi all,
It is great to join this community! I would love to hear your thoughts on this and how I should manage it.
1) I have quite a few mummy friends who direct latch their baby and do not pump at all unless they are about to go back to work.
However, my massage lady told me that even though I direct latch, I should still pump at least 3 times a day to clear the excess milk to prevent block ducts.
I do have quite a lot of milk but by pumping, won't that just increase the supply as well? But if I don't pump, I do get lumps and block ducts.
2) And my baby tends to drink only 1 side in the middle of the night and I will feel engorge on the other side. Should I pump?
Thank you in advance for your kind sharing!
*my baby boy is 7 weeks young

Direct latch. Unless the breast is engorged. As much as possible if stick with direct latching
