It sounds official, but there’s no standard definition of what makes something “hospital grade.” Some pumps are labeled this way because they’re closed system, multi-user models.

But “hospital grade” ≠ highest milk yields.

What does matter when choosing your primary breast pump?
✔️ Proper fit
✔️ Effective suction modes and cycles
✔️ A plan that works for you

Consider a prenatal visit with a lactation professional to explore pump options and find the perfect pump for you!

How strict do milk storage guidelines need to be? New research is raising questions! Despite guidelines recommending you toss leftover milk after 2 hours, bacterial levels in used bottles stayed relatively stable for up to 8 hours. How cool is that?!

This paper has been submitted for peer review, so don’t take it as the gold standard just yet, but it really goes to show how much is still out there to learn about human milk!

As for me, I guess I’ll set a news alert so I can revise my materials if things change 😅🫠

Breastfeeding a NICU baby is exhausting. I was fresh postpartum and needed in his bay every 2 hours to eat. Between that, I’d trek back to my room so my own nurse could tend to me, I could eat, change my giant pads, and try to get little micro naps. What had been packed with the intention of just wearing around my room ended up being my outfit I wore all over the hospital for days 😅. But honestly, this robe was perfect. It was easy to breastfeed, do skin to skin, and I could cover baby overtop for comfort and warmth.

Did you breastfeed while your baby was in NICU? What was your go-to outfit?

You deserve someone who will LISTEN to you!

I’m not here to tell you what you want to hear, but I am here to hold your hand while we work through part of your experience that you want help with. If your consult didn’t sit right in your gut, reach out for a second opinion! Your LC should be in it for the long haul, to sit with you when it’s hard, and never make you feel like you can’t even try.
