Pump?

Question

Does baby need to suck in order to establish supply or can I exclusively pump and still have supply?

Answer

You can get it by pumping. But if possible, latching baby gets your milk supply up quicker. Because it produces hormones that make you lactate more and also baby is more efficient at getting the milk out and running than a pump.

Answer

Loads of women exclusively pump from birth. Do what feels right for you.

Answer

establishing a supply primarily comes from emptying your breast, and baby will do that most efficiently but a pump can essentially do the same 9though not as good at a full empty). Your best bet is to combo the first two weeks

Answer

I had my son premature so he couldn't suckle. I exclusively pumped for 4months

Answer

I had to exclusively pump because of inverted nipples and baby wouldn’t latch and when he did it was so painful!  I kept my supply going no issues, I would pump and he would then take what I pumped in a bottle and extra would be frozen.

Answer

You can establish a supply with pumping. It’s just about emptying your breast, which a hospital grade pump is very good at doing. I exclusively pumped for my twins are an entire year.
