One tip I have for pumping away from your baby(like at work) is to look at pictures of your baby, or videos of them. It helps you to have that bonding feeling and thereby helping your milk let down and express better. I remember that helped me with my first baby a lot.

[@Pushnotificationsalwaysoffbye]

The little silicone pump is amazing! I really wish I knew about it when I had my first baby. You can express while baby is feeding and doesn’t take up any more time. Newborns are exhausting so one less task to try and fit in is wonderful!

As a mom with shallow nipples and a premie who’s been forced to exclusively pump Thankyou. I never imagined I’d be here exclusively pumping but it’s what she needs. I’m a little heart broken and feel like I’m not “needed” as much as I’m staying home currently but doing my best to cope currently.

[@user-xp6id4yo1g]

Mommas! In the hospital my nurse and I used the Medela pump. It had ALOT of parts. I walked away with a kitchen size trash bag of parts they gave me. Target did not have the Medela, so my husband got the EVENFLO just for me to look at since I had my mind made up to get the Medela. When he got home, I had to use it because I was so engorged and needed a release. Needless to say, I’ve never looked back. It is the EASIEST pump, the parts are so simple and to clean after each session only takes < 1 minute. I easily take it room to room and even have used it in the car. I would highly recommend, especially for new mothers. We need simplicity!

[@gabihuggins5042]

So helpful. 3 weeks postpartum and thinking about pumping soon! I bought the haakaa hand pump based on your suggestion!

[@burkevid4108]

I’m 23 and just moved back to America from living in Asia. Just had my babygirl at home. Didn’t know I would be returning to the States, but we were forced to due to Covid-19. I was preparing to have my child in Asia. I watched so many of your videos as I prepared overseas- wishing I could have a homebirth. We lived in rural Cambodia and were 9 hours from the nearest hospital, so a homebirth was out of the question. Upon returning to America, I decided I wanted a homebirth and was able to have a beautiful, complication free birth at home. Your videos have been so helpful to me as I was overseas and also post partum! Thank you Bridget!

This info is so helpful!! Another tip I have for those who are pumping (I’m not sure if it was mentioned) is if it gets frustrating or seems like you’re full but nothing is coming out with the pump.. hand expressing is really helpful too!! Of course it’s hard to do that for a long period of time, but if you need to get a bit more out that the pump isn’t getting, it works great
