7 When to express
milk
It would be best for you to use the
breast pump after you have a regular
breastfeeding, unless it is suggested by
your doctor or breast-feeding advisor. The
exceptions are:
Pumping for your baby in hospital.
•
When your breasts are engorged (painful
•
or swollen). You can pump a small
amount of milk before or between feeds
to ease the pain, and to help your baby
your baby latch on more easily.
When you have sore or cracked nipples
•
and you may wish to express your milk
until they are healed.
When you are separated from your baby
•
temporarily and wish to continue to
breast-feed after reunited. You should
pump regularly to stimulate your milk
supply.
Right times of the day to
express your milk
Early in the morning when you breasts
•
are full, just before or after your baby's
first feed.
After a feed, if your baby has not
•
emptied both breasts.
Between feeds or in a break if you have
•
returned to work.
8 Storage
Keep the breast pump out of direct
•
sunlight as prolonged exposure may
cause discolouration.
Store the breast pump and its
•
accessories in a safe and dry place.
