Got a call yesterday from a 17 yo pregnant woman, 8 mos pregnant. Lots
of questions about bf and pumping, storing milk etc. Wanted to know if
the milk inn your breasts before birth was the same as after. Wanted to
start pumping now at 8 mos pregnant. Explained this was a no-no! And how
lactogenesis II (do we still call it that?) ensued after delivery of the
placenta.

Heard from a coworker about another mom with low output when pumping pc
to increase milk supply. Was using a shield to latch baby. Come to find
out (my coworker was checking her pump and observed her pumping) she was
pumping with the flange over the shield.

Lesson to be learned - never assume anything!
