Will It Be Okay To Pump One Boob While Nursing With The Other???? I Have A Stupid Keloid Beside My Nipple That Made It Hard For My First To Latch On.. I Get Induced Tomorrow &’ Planning To BF/Pump, &’ Dont Wanna Get Mastitis Again😬😬
Yeah but that's to establish bilateral lactation. If she only.is able.to nurse on one boob the other will not produce. So your basically having to exclusively pump from one breast and nurse from the other. I would however wait a couple weeks to introduce a bottle. I used Medela only the slowest flow nipple. She never had nipple confusion or got to prefer the bottle over the breast because of the slow flow.
If u wait that boob won't produce anything and you'll have one huge boob and one normal lol!
Totally doable. But this baby may latch with no issue. You never know. You could feed on one boob and pump the other and freeze the milk for a stash.
Or... You could just use a nipple shield on both sides.....
