Dear Lactnet Friends: Brenda poses a question for a mother with slow flow. Has she tried pumping one side while breastfeeding on the other? How does she know when to put baby to the breast? This 2.5 ounces: is that a pre/post gain after one feed? One feed is merely a snapshot of a moment; To be accurate, it should be done for each feed for as close to 24 hours. Would she be interested in safely bed-sharing, and letting baby have free access to the breast for the nights, when prolactin levels are naturally highest? That could feel good, once she returns to work. warmly, -- Nikki Lee RN, BSN, Mother of 2, MS, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI, ANLC, CKC Reviews Editor,* Clinical Lactation* www.nikkileehealth.com https://www.facebook.com/nikkileehealth *Communications are confidential and meant only for whom they are addressed.* *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
