Pumping?

Question

Baby girl was born July 18. Unfortunately I only have 6 weeks off. I’ve read that it’s best to start pumping at 6 weeks old... I’m considering doing breast and formula when she starts back at daycare because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to create a big supply if I can’t start pumping till then. Any suggestions?

Answer

Try the hakka, it a silicone pump. You attach it to the side baby is not nursing on. You wear it when you are nursing. It is amazing! Easy to clean comfortable. Check out a few YouTube videos they will teach you how to put it on. Plus it's like 27 bucks. It draws out the milk and collects what would have spilt out when you are feeding. You can totally build a stash with that. Just remember you only need as much milk as the 1st day of daycare. Because you will be pumping at work for each feeding and collecting that for baby for the next day.

Answer

You can definitely start pumping before then. I started pumping at about 3 weeks. Just a little at a time because I too had to return to work after 6 weeks with my first baby.

Answer

I just had my baby girl on the 18th too ❤️
