How to get my breast milk to come in?

Question

I heard I should pump every 3 hours. But I can't afford a electric breast pump so I might be getting a Manual Breastpump.
How long do I pump for each breast?
Needing tips.
First time mommy!

Answer

Is there a reason it's not coming in on it's own? If your still pregnant don't worry about it, the baby's drinking will bring it in. If it doesn't come in the doctor will recommend the proper procedure.

Answer

if you have insurance or WIC they will pay for your pump

Answer

If you have insurance you may be able to get an electric breast pump through them. Your doctor can write you a prescription. Not sure how long you would need to pump with a manual pump, although I imagine it would be a lot more time consuming.

Answer

First time feeding and pumping could take up to an hour for a let down to happen. How many days postpartum are you? It could take up to 4 days for your milk to come in, but the more you nurse or pump even with colostrum will up your supply. All insurance should pay for a pump for you.
