Today I was reminded of the importance of proper fl**ge size for pumping; attached is a great example of what your ni***es should look like in your fl**ge. P.S. don't forget to put breast milk or ni**le cream (lanolin) on your ni***es and areolas before pumping (or using a shield). If you are enrolled in WIC-they are doing fl**ge fit appointments to help get moms in correct fl**ges.

Happy pumping and remember you're doing a great job, mama!

If you’re pumping, you’re breastfeeding. And if you’re breastfeeding, pumping might be necessary to return to work and meet your breastfeeding goals.

With no federally mandated paid family leave in the U.S., parents often return to work within weeks (not months) after welcoming a little one: 1 in 4 women must return to work within two weeks of giving birth.

We’re dedicated to creating meaningful change in lactation care in our country and supporting parents with expert, compassionate care when they need it most — despite the current lack of guaranteed paid family leave in the U.S.

Access in-person or virtual pumping support throughout your journey:

✅ Work with an expert International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to choose the right breast pump for you and order pumps and accessories through our trusted marketplace partners.
✅ Get all the resources and confidence you need for adding pumping and bottle feeding to your routine. From creating a pumping schedule to milk storage and prep, your IBCLC has you covered.

Breastfeeding Post! 🤰🤱♥️🌟

28/03/2024

Studies show that parents produce more breastmilk with each subsequent child.

The takeaway? You're likely to have more breastmilk and a different breastfeeding experience with each child.

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can support you throughout your unique journey, work with you to manage your supply, guide you through any challenges, and help you reach your breastfeeding goals.
