Greetings
I have been reading for years and only able to post on face book. Here goes another try

I recommend that moms leave that shiny new pump in the box for the first 2 weeks UNLESS THERE IS A PROBLEM. I encourage them to focus on getting to know their newborn, resting, and becoming comfortable with direct breastfeeding. Of course it should be used if any problems occur.

I work as part of a team of lactation consultants. We see every breastfeeding mom, every day Monday through Saturday. We take calls on Sunday. We are not here at night. Staff nurses are encouraged to make bedside decisions and do the bulk of teaching. We are an additional resource to our inpatients as well as our discharged patients.
