Dear friends,
I write to share one of my client's experience on how threatening the
breastpump caused. She is a new mom with baby separated from her on day 4
and she started pump using an electric breastpump in the hospital. Every
thing was fine till on the few days later she found one of her breast
producing very bloody milk. The staff called me, and I found her breast was
soft, no lumps felt.
I started to teach her to stop using the pump and express milk by gentle
hand expression. She could do it well and good milk supply yielded. The
milk expressed from the 'damaged' side was looked normal, no blood noticed
from the expressed milk. This difference was come within 1-2 hours just
after the last bloody pumping. This I used it to show to my staff that it
is the possible hinden damage that pump may cause, and the problem can be
solved if mother is taught how to used hand expression properly.
