The most common reason to use a breast pump during breastfeeding is to preserve your milk so your baby can still breastfeed while you are away. Even when you are with your baby, using a breast pump can help maintain your milk volume. If you want to continue breastfeeding after work, it is even more necessary to suck out the milk and save it.

In addition, using a breast pump can also stimulate milk secretion and increase milk volume. If your baby is a premature baby or does nt suck your mother s nipples, using a breast pump to collect milk will not only allow your baby to eat valuable breast milk, but also relieve the pain and oppression caused by breast milk. However, you need to be reminded that the milking frequency should not be too much during breast expansion, otherwise it will make the situation worse.

In special cases, if your doctor advises you to stop breastfeeding temporarily, for example because you are taking medicines that may be harmful to your baby, or you need short-term hospitalization, then use breastfeeding during the time when you cannot breastfeed The device sucks out milk, which can continue to help you maintain adequate milk production.

Although some people prefer milking by hand, most people still feel that using a breast pump is faster and easier. At the beginning, you may not be used to it. It feels strange to use the "machine" to suck out the milk from your breasts, but usually it won't take long for you to get a smooth suction.

1. Have proper suction;

2. There is no pain in the nipple when using it;

3, can fine-tune the pressure of drinking.

Under normal circumstances, the baby's sucking pressure is 60-100mmHg, but because sucking milk is not simply pulling the nipple, so it is not necessary to choose a breast pump with strong suction power.

1. Before breast-feeding, warm the breasts with a fumigated towel and perform a massage to stimulate areola to fully expand the breasts;

2. Breast pump according to the suction power that suits your situation;

1. Choose a leisure time that you will not be disturbed.

2. Let your baby lie next to you, or put a picture of your baby next to you, this will help the mother relax and suck.

3. Use a hot towel to compress your breasts for a few minutes before breastfeeding, which will help milk flow out and reduce pain.

4. A gentle and relaxed state is conducive to milk flow, you can try to suck milk after bathing.

5. When the baby is breastfeeding, use a breast pump on the other side of the breast, or use the breast pump to suckle after the baby has finished eating.

6. The position of the breast pump on the breast can be changed frequently to stimulate the breast.

What kind of breast pump is good?

A manual breast pump is better. There are two types of breast pumps: manual and electric. In order to save trouble, some people may think that electric is better. In fact, this is a wrong statement, because the breast of each mother will have individual differences. Electric is a set speed. If used incorrectly, it is likely to cause breasts. Pain, so it is better to choose a manual breast pump, because the manual type can adjust the speed according to individual needs.

1. There will be less and less milk-Some people think that using a breast pump will make milk less and less. Actually it won't. In the early stage, more suction is also beneficial to increase the milk volume. The principle of the breast pump is the same as the principle of baby sucking. Of course, it feels different, but you can manually adjust it to the same frequency as the baby sucking;

2, milk quality is not high-some people say so, but can't explain why. I personally think that milk quality has nothing to do with whether or not a breast pump is used;

3. The problem of leaking milkSome people think that using a breast pump will make milk eyes bigger and leaking milk, but it wo nt, sucking one side of the breast to stimulate the brain and secreting prolactin to make the breast secrete milk. It s all the same, so milk drips on the other side, commonly known as leaking milk. This is a normal phenomenon. It can also happen when breastfeeding directly. Use a breast pump to prepare early and avoid milk on the other side. Wet your baby's clothes. Sometimes, even if breastfeeding directly, the nipple may be lactated by external stimuli (such as rubbing on clothing, etc.). Of course, this varies from person to person.
