I want to breastfeed Leyla when she gets here. Do I take my pump to the hospital with me? Bottles? First time wanting to strictly breastfeed/ pump any advice?
The hospital had a nice pump, I didn’t have to take mine. It wasnt hard to transition to my pump at home, but they WERE both made by madela. I didn’t need bottles either. I would say research as much as you can before going. a lot of people give up week 1 for dumb reasons, just because they didn't research how much the baby would be eating or what they needed to do.
I haven't given birth yet but def take your pump so u get used to using YOURS not the hospitals,....plus if he isn't suckling right your going to have to pump to give him something while you wait for that good latch
don't bring pump....lactation consultant will help you with that if needed.
