I totally agree, Heather. That's why I encourage handexpressing if baby does not show any signs of interest in about an hour. And I do not even call it expression at this stage, but ''pushing (or pressing) some colostrum out''.

worry that the intervention of a pump is intrusive....the early hours
with a newborn are precious, and can we not be content with letting
mother and baby find their way to starting their new breastfeeding
relationship gently and without pressure?
I accept the physiological fact that a totally non-feeding baby may
miss out on a bolus of colostrum, but I would want this balanced
against the effects of introducing a mechanical 'thing' into this
burgeoning relationship.
What do others think?
