Question 1

i am using philips avent manual breast pump. i don't feel let down and if it happens i only get 1oz and then nothing till next let down. what to do?

Accepted Answer

Pumps: Pumps are often not successful and often electric pumps work better. You can generally rent these. Having a baby at the breast is the best way to stimulate the production of breast milk. All the best.

Question 2

why do my left side breast still big, droops and flat after having a baby and it has a slight pain i dont breast feed i just breast pump.

Accepted Answer

Change in shape: It is normal for your breasts to change in size and shape with and after breastfeeding.  The slight pain could be a couple of things.   As your milk " lets down" just before the milk begins to flow, you may be aware of a slight ACHE as the muscles around the milk ducts contract to get the milk going.  Congratulations for breastfeeding your baby!  He will be SO healthy!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Express milk: Pumps are used to express breast milk. So it can be given via a bottle or stored for later use.

Question 7

what should i look for in a breast pump?

Accepted Answer

How busy are you?: If you are really on the move daily, having a manual pump is a good option. Otherwise, the electric pumps are much easier and better.

Question 8

is there any way to try out a breast pump?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Borrow from a friend or rent one for a short period of time.

Question 9

is it better to rent or to buy a breast pump?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Some mothers find renting a hospital-grade pump to be very efficient for breast pumping (you will need to purchase the sterile nursing equipment separately). However, if you desire to pump at work, it may be convenient to purchase a portable pump that is easier to transport discretely from home to work. Furthermore, some mothers find manual pumping to be reasonably efficient and less expensive.

Question 10

would a breast pump help make breasts bigger ?

Accepted Answer

NO: If you feel like you want larger breasts, see a plastic surgeon.
