Breastfeeding, Haakaa, & Pumping

Ali 🤰🏼🧡 • Boy mama 💚🚜

Hi everyone! My LO made their arrival on Feb. 23rd 🥰 Everything is going great so far — he’s a really good baby.

I am currently EBF. I am trying to wait a full month before I start pumping so that breastfeeding is well established. My breasts are often quite engorged in the morning and leak on and off throughout the day. I really, really don’t want to jeopardize my supply, but I’d really like some relief. On average, I feed about every 2.5 hours, sometimes less.

Is it unwise to use a Haakaa in the mornings to help with the engorgement? If LO is on one breast, is it ok to use the Haakaa on the other to catch leaks?

I am so new to this, and again, I really don’t want to jeopardize my supply and cause problems. Any tips or corrections are appreciated. Thanks! 😊
