I think pumping initially is sending the wrong message.  Gently teaching hand expression and catching the drops in a spoon, which can be fed to baby or stored in a sterile syringe for later use (baby  NPO for some reason) is probably the best way to go, IMHO. This surely needs to be done in first hour  if baby won't or can't latch.     Those golden drops get all caught up in pump apparatus, smeared on mom's breast,  etc.  and are lost.  Remember it is liquid gold.  Pat in SNJ
