Pumping milk
Experts recommend withholding pumping your milk for the first 6 weeks. Your baby should be latching directly so that your body produces milk depending on how much your baby needs. It is advisable to research what pump to buy before you give birth to lessen another to-do list while caring for a newborn. Make sure to have the pump cleaned and ready for use. Breast pumps are great for working moms who need to be back in the office soon. Keep in mind that you also need storage bags, cooler, and bottles ready. Nipple confusion is another challenge when introducing babies to bottles. Look for bottle nipples that are very similar to breast nipples to minimize confusion. You can also try cup feeding to your babies as this method reduces the risks of nipple confusion.
