Pump now or wait
Hi All, I just gave birth last night but my baby is under observation due to my diabetes. Should I start pumping now or wait till my baby latches on me so that he can get the colostrum that is very good for him? Thanks in advanced!
Hi the first few days it might be difficult to get any milk out, you can massage with your hands to stimulate milk production and try squeezing with your fingers and see if any milk comes out? You can try pumping to stimulate too. Congrats on your delivery and all the best!
Pumping wont work. Will end up wasting colostrum as it will be stuck to the flange. Need to squeeze and suck with syringe. The nurse will teach you the right method and provide u with free syringes.
Bf first :) don’t worry abt pumping now. If you feel breast is very tender , you can pump after bf Bf for 10-15mins for new born. Baby will auto remove lo’s mouth. N will keep fall asleep.
Read moreCan check with nurse. Usually they will provide syringe for u to suck out and they will deliver the colostrum to your baby.
If can wait, then wait. No need to rush milk production as it will come in time.
wait till breastfeed cause milk might be not enough for now
Colostrum is very small volume to pump
Better give time and wait
Better to wait
