June,
I'm wondering why this mum is pumping and what she is doing with the milk
she expresses? I'm sorry I can't remember your first post. I presume that
she is giving the baby the milk? Is she supplementing with other milk? How
much? Does she know that the amouns she is pumping might bear little
relation to how much milk she is making. I can't help but wonder what would
happen if she wasn't pumping and just kept her baby close (sling/cosleep)
and just kept breastfeeding. It sounds as if the pump might be hindering
here rather than helping.
