Mike, is there a specific reason this mother is piumping her milk from birth on?
Does she have to pump extra milk? There is no hint in your post on this and I
got the impression that the mom is pumping just for pumpings sake? Am I wrong?
But if she's pumping just for pumping she might as well quit doing so and stop
worrying.
