Can you use a breast pump for nipple stimulation?

I think you can but not sure

You certainly can :) x

ooh didn't think of that xx

Yup x

It's an electric one so how long do you think I should use it for a day? @lucyjade @sweetsesame cc

@briony1994, yes u can and it worked for me along with 2 sweeps. 15 mins per breast 3 times a day as long as u can tolerate it is the advice i was given x

Thanks @karenb1601 I'll give it a go, anything to get this baby moving! Starting to really struggle now xx

oooh let us know how you get on @briony1994 hope you're OK too ❤ xxx

I will do, I need this baby out now, I'm struggling :( @jetrum xxx

was gonna say the same as @karenb1601 wasn't sure how many times per day but I know you shouldn't do more than 20mins per breast. Are you going to freeze what you express as the colostrum us great for when baby is ill etc so having extra stock can be handy x

I didn't even think about freezing it @sweetsesame how would I store it? :/ not enough is coming out yet to have any to store, only tried it once so far xxx

Oh ok. If you get an ounce or more out you can use storage bags. Which pump have you got?

I've got the tommee tippee electric one @sweetsesame xx

They have milk storage bags in mothercare for tommee tippee on sale of you can use freezer bags hun x

Ooooh!! Thanks babe!! Ill have a look online now!! @sweetsesame xx

No probs x
