This narrative is so common, but yet we continue to normalise it.
In my experience, there’s often one of the following issues happening:
•Using a pump with a poor motor (old, low mmHg or wearable pump before supply is established)
•Parts are worn out and need replacing
•Fl**ge size is inadequate
Sometimes supply might genuinely be very low or complicated by breast hypoplasia, but a breast making milk SHOULD be able to express milk with a breast pump.
I can’t tell you how many times a week I see the profound difference the right size fl**ge makes to increase your comfort and collect more milk. It’s truly the easiest, most magical “trick” around when pumping.
Registrations for our Fl**ge Fitting Workshop on the 26/7 are OPEN! If you are a midwife, IBCLC, CFHN, NICU/SCN RN, GP or doula, come and learn how you can give women the support and solutions they need to optimise their breastfeeding journey.
Let’s change the narrative around pumping one mum at a time.
