Learn about Pumping Basics

Why do this: Start pumping if you are separated from your baby, or you need to stimulate milk. How to do this: 1) Make sure you have the right size of flange for your nipple (enough space for your nipple, but not so big that the areola gets pulled in). 2) Get a hands-free pumping bra or make your own from an old sports bra. 3) Place the flanges with bottles on your nipples and connect to the pump. 4) Turn on the pump, start with the lowest setting. Then slowly turn it up. If you feel pain, turn it down. Aim for the highest setting that doesn’t cause pain. 4) Gently massage the breast towards the nipple before or during pumping. 5) Pump at least 10-15 minutes to stimulate the breast to make milk, or until all the milk is drained. 6) The baby will be able to get more milk at the breast than the pump. If your baby is gaining weight and is thriving, your milk supply is good.
