How soon should i start using a breast pump after delivery of premie?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As soon as possible: After delivery of a preemie, you should start pumping as soon as possible. Your OB can show you how to save & store your milk for your baby. The benefits for your baby are many & i commend you for asking. Talk to your doc if you have trouble or ask to talk to a certified lactation consultant. Good luck.
