Why do the baby doctors want me to pump for my twins?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually...: I recommend pumping when i need to know exactly how much milk the mother has available for the babies, and how much each is taking, and most of the time that is when one or both are failing to gain weight appropriately.
