The first thoughts I had were to make sure the breast flanges were large
enough for your daughter's nipples. I see a lot of women that need the largest
flanges and pump greater quantities with them. I would say maybe half my WIC
clients with premature babies need the bigger flanges (and the Ameda standard
flanges we use are larger than the Medela standard ones). Also, someone
needs to check her Classic pump with vacuum gauges just to make sure it is
working properly. Is baby at breast at all?
Hi Kathy,
Thanks so much for your thoughts. The flanges are large enough, but it
might not hurt to give her the next size up just for the heck of it. Can't hurt
-- might help!! Thanks for the idea. And I'll take the gauge up the next
time I go see her and check the pressures -- also a good idea, though I think
it is working fine. (One of my rental pumps). Baby isn't at breast at all
for food -- he'll go on briefly for non-nutritive sucking. Tongue tie still an
issue -- and when he wants food, he wants it NOW and FAST.
Again, thank you!
Jan
