Breast pump

Question

Hi! I’m a FTM and I would like to check if i can bring along my breast pumps and ask the nurses or LC there to teach me how to use it correctly? I’m giving birth at TMC. Also, may I know what do I need to bring aparts for myself and baby aparts from the basics clothings, documents, chargers? Do I need to bring my nursing bra? (As in do I get to wear it during my entire stay in hospital or?) #firstbaby #pleasehelp

I delivered there in July and brought my pump along. If you want lactation consultant to teach you how to use your pump do remember to sterilize it beforehand. she will also help to measure your areolar to ensure you're using the correct flange size. Although she's may not be familiar with all the different brands. I brought nursing bra but didn't use it during the stay. Was practically just in the hospital gown throughout. Can bring disposable underwear, sanitary pads, cotton ball, portable charger, socks, thermal flask
