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.
@flamingomom, A lot Of People Have Told Me No &’ To Wait 6 Weeks, But I Don’t Think I Can Wait 6 Weeks Lol
I don’t see why not. A lot of us pump two breasts at once so it’s the same concept.
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Breast pump covered by insurance
I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.

Enrolled in this program 😊
I also got my prescription today for my breast pump 😍. I need to find a place where I can take the prescription to get the breast pump. 🤔

Just found out my insurance will cover 100% of my breast pump just gotta get a prescription from my dr. I have a question is it only particular breast pumps I can get cause I seen 2 that like
My son loves the bottle more than my breast 😫 he gets so fussy when I give him my breast but has no issue with with bottle. As long as his eating I’m okay with it. I’ve been pumping and I hate pumping!!
Or... You could just use a nipple shield on both sides.....
