'I actually started pumping in about week one as I thought I needed to create this massive freezer stash, but I really didn’t need to do that.'
If you decide to breastfeed your baby, it's a good idea to purchase a breast pump as there may come a point where you need to consider expressing your breast milk.
If you’re feeding your baby exclusively with expressed milk and aren’t breastfeeding, you should express as often as you would normally breastfeed your baby to maintain milk production . If you only feed your baby pumped milk from time to time, then pumping occasionally between feeds is enough. In the early days feeling like you have massive swollen breasts can feel like a good thing and that you've got loads of milk, but actually when our breasts are fullest we are producing less milk because that’s what the signals are telling our brains, as the milk isn’t actually going anywhere. The more frequently that you remove milk from your breasts, the more milk your breasts will produce.
While some may only take five minutes to produce milk, others may take longer. Focus on the flow of the milk rather than how long you express for, as the time it takes to express your milk will vary from mother to mother. If you are struggling, you might want to express on one breast while feeding your baby on the other as this can help you produce oxytocin which can speed up the milk flow.
You may not notice a huge change in the amount of breast milk you collect over time, but breast milk is clever stuff. Its composition and calorie count change and adapt alongside your baby's development over time, so the same volume of milk is sufficient for a baby as they continue to grow.The best time to express milk varies from person to person, but experts advise pumping immediately after a breastfeeding session. However, some mothers prefer to wait an hour before pumping.
