Pumping at Work
If you’re exclusively pumping, you know how many total daily stimulations you have and can figure out how many of those stimulations will need to land during your work day.
Strategies to keep your baby fed, your milk supply strong, and your family balanced

When you wean from breastfeeding you may notice some changes in your body.
I want to be crystal clear: Once you stop the lactation process (making milk), it is essentially impossible to properly restart lactation in this postpartum period.

Have you ever wondered, “if I am nursing, how am I supposed to ever be able to pump milk for a bottle?” Here’s how: After nursing your baby, pump both breasts.
It is a common recommendation from breastfeeding experts to forego artificial nipples (pacifiers or bottles) for the first few weeks or even months of breastfeeding to avoid the dreaded and ever-elusive nipple confusion.
