I'll be 37 weeks on Wednesday so would that be an okay time to start pumping?

Question

pumping?" />

Answer

My lactation nurse said not to pump before baby.
Keep the good stuff in there as long as possible.

Answer

I was told do not start pumping until after you have the baby because your baby needs that first milk you produce because of the antibodies it has and the nutrients... also they said nipple stimulation like that can cause you to go into labor.

Answer

I’m 37 today and been hand expressing for a week. Your milk won’t come in until the placenta is gone. That’s when the hormone starts being released so you’ll be fine to pump. Freeze it for when baby gets here if you want to, that’s what I’m doing because I had a hard time recovering last csection.

Answer

My doctor told me I could start pumping at 36 weeks to try and kick start labor🤷🏼‍♀️
