I am in contact with a mom who is pumping for her 9 month old triplets. She bought very wide elastic from the fabric store & pinned two pieces together, leaving an opening in front for the flanges. She sewed velcro on the ends & fastens it in front. The wide elastic holds the flanges & leaves her hands free for other tasks when she is pumping. She is working full time & the babies refuse to nurse. With the help of More Milk tincture & six 20 min pumping sessions she gets about 34 oz/day (enough for each baby to have 1/3 EBM). I believe she deserves the valent mom award. Her goal is breastmilk for one year. warmly, Sylvia Boyd, CLE, PT, LCCE Hayward, CA mailto:[log in to unmask]
