Would you recommend "insurance pumping" in this situation? : 37 wk healthy infant, birthweight 5 lbs 0 oz. Assessed to be breastfeeding effectively w/ great latch and +++ swallows in hospital. 4 lbs 12.6 oz at discharge on day 2 which is about 4% loss. Follow up call reveals milk in, good feeding behaviors, abundant wets/dirties, no problems identified , infant weighs 4 lbs 15 oz on day 5. Knowing all the problems and challenges that *can* occur w/ near term infants, I really don't feel she needs to pump to "insure a good supply". Do any of you?
