➡️ 5 Tips for a Successful Pumping Session

Breast pumping is not a task most moms enjoy, but for some reason (we all have different ones) you have to get it done. So lets better do it right and effective!

1- Relax and make yourself as comfortable as possible

👉🏼 If you are here is because you HAVE to pump, so take 5 deep breaths, leave the stress aside and connect with the moment.
Repeat until you feel calm.

2- Prepare everything you’ll need before, during and after pumping.

👉🏼 Get yourself some water and snacks.
Assemble the breast pump.
Leave your milk storage container clean and near.
Wipes, always have wipes around.
Look for pictures or videos of your LO if you need some stimulation.

3- Place the pump in the correct position on your breast

👉🏼 Your ni**le must be in the middle of the fl**ge hole, and the rest of the fl**ge should be in direct contact with your breast generating a vaccum effect.
No air can get through.
The correct size of the fl**ge is key.

4- Take your time and try as many times as you need

👉🏼 Getting nervous and anxious is the worst enemy.
As you start pumping regularly you will get to know you and how your process goes.
Untill you get there you will have to be patient! Take your time assembling the pump and placing it on your breast till you make it work.
Try as many times as you need until you are able to get that milk out!
(It’s never just place the pump and milk comes out as an open tap 😕)
Be-patient…

5- Don’t miss a session!

👉🏼 You will feel engorged and guilty!
Nobody wants that.
If you make it, at list for 5 minutes, you will feel relieved and proud of yourself!
Set alarms.

* These recommendations are valid for every type of breast pump.
