daughter tells her there is more milk there, also.
the problem is that she can't produce any milk for the pump. she gets
literally 2-3 drops from her left breast and 6-7 from the right.>
Something that the moms I've worked with do is pumping while the
baby/child is breastfeeding. I usually suggest this to moms with
young babies that are planning to go back to work. Since there is a
psychological aspect to breastfeeding and babies feel and smell much
nicer than pumps - why not work with your body and take advantage of
the MER your baby produces.
