Wearable breast pump

Hey! So the lactation consultant at my babies nicu says portables are a strong enough suction or type of suction for starting out supply. So double electric and hospital grade pumps the first 8 to 12 weeks postpartum gives your body the right signals to produce enough if not more(if your me) for your baby. While you breastfeed pumping the breast that isnt being used while baby is on the other helps keep the signals going to keep producing. Also middle of the night pump is also so important a session between 12am to 5am when prolactin is highest which helps your body to produce more is crucial for breastfeeding

Im almost 9 weeks postpartum with over supply and I now use my portables for emergencies when im not home or at the hospital to use the double electric or hospital pump

The best way to establish your milk supply is to feed your baby on demand from the breast.

Pumping especially in the first 6 weeks can cause over supply, engorgement and make it difficult for your baby to feed. You also then risk mastitis x

I’ve used my eufy s1 since coming home from the hospital with no issues, I do have a massive oversupply though. I do have a spectra pump also if I feel I’m not completely ‘empty’ but I’ve only used it a handful of times

You can start with the Haaka wearables if you get letdown- this allows you to start catching extra.

I exclusively nursed my first baby and pumped on the side in case of emergencies. Never ended up needing it!

You don’t need to pump excessively as having an oversupply is NOT ideal as it will lead to pain.
Pumping 1-2 ounces and saving it, is plenty over time :)
