The process of pumping breast milk involves using a breast pump to extract milk from your breasts. Here's a breakdown of how to do it effectively:
Steps for Pumping Breast Milk
-
Preparation: Ensure you have a clean breast pump and all its parts properly assembled. Wash your hands thoroughly.
-
Positioning:
- Sit comfortably in a relaxed position.
- Make sure your nipples are centered in the breast shield flanges.
-
Initiating Pumping:
- Place the breast shield over your breast, ensuring your nipple is centered.
- Start pumping with a low level of suction and gradually increase the level as your milk begins to flow.
-
Pumping Duration:
- Pump each breast until they're empty. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes per breast, but may vary.
-
Completion:
- After pumping, your breasts should feel soft.
- Store the expressed milk properly according to guidelines.
Important Considerations
- Clean your breast pump parts after each use to prevent bacterial growth.
- If you experience any pain or discomfort while pumping, stop and reassess your positioning and the suction level.
- Consult with a lactation consultant for personalized advice and support.
