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!
