If you believe that breast milk is the best food choice for your child, but you are not able to breastfeed, or you don't want to, what can you do? That's where exclusive pumping comes in.
Exclusive pumping is a great way to provide your baby with your breast milk without putting the baby to the breast. Exclusive pumping is also called EPing and breast milk feeding. It is the process of removing the breast milk from your breasts at regular times throughout the day.
You can then give that milk to your baby either by a bottle, tube feeding, or an alternative feeding method. But exclusive pumping can be time-consuming and exhausting, especially if you continue to pump exclusively for a long period of time. You may decide that you'll exclusively pump before you have your child, or you may breastfeed for a while, then move on to exclusive pumping.
There are many reasons women choose to pump exclusively. A newborn will take a bottle of breast milk approximately every 2 to 3 hours. As your baby gets older, they will take more at each feeding, but go longer between feedings. As long as your milk supply is plentiful, you may be able to go longer between pumping sessions, as well.
At each session, you should pump for at least 15 minutes on each side. It can take a few minutes for your milk to let down , so give yourself enough time. You also want to try to fully empty your breasts, since this is an important part of stimulating the production of more breast milk. After you drain your breasts and no more milk is flowing out into the collection container , continue to pump for one to five minutes longer.
Since breast milk is made based on supply and demand, the extra stimulation will tell your body to make more. You don't have to pump for longer than 20 minutes. Pumping for 15 to 20 minutes more frequently throughout the day will generally produce more breast milk than pumping less often for more extended periods of time.
Pump as much as you can at each pumping session. Then, put the breast milk into bottles or storage containers in the amount that your child takes at each feeding. Newborns drink less breast milk than older children at each feeding, but they eat more often than an older child will.

Bonyata, K. What can I do? Lawrence, R. Breastfeeding: A guide for the medical profession. Exclusively pumping , are you? To protect your supply and meet the nutritional demands of your growing baby, you will want to pump at least 8 times a day.
So, if you find that you are not expressing enough milk for your baby, you may want to consider adding a few other pumping sessions to your day to give you a boost. Pumping to increase milk supply? Most women at some point during their breastfeeding journey will notice a dip in their milk supply.
It can be very helpful to get extra stimulation and complete drainage of the breast by double pumping both breasts at the same time directly after a breastfeeding session. Pumping even minutes can be helpful. I had mine set on medium when I developed a blister. Once it healed, I turned it down to minimum and have never had another blister or pain again. I keep the speed at 3 but if you feel like too much areola is being sucked into the horn, then turning down the speed will remedy that.
If you are in a lot of pain and turn down the settings, you might actually get more milk because you are more relaxed! Moms may find it surprising that the breastfed baby often takes less milk in the bottle than formula babies take in. This may vary a little from baby to baby, but the average range of milk intake is oz per day mL per day.
Example : If baby usually nurses around 8 times per day, you can guess that baby might need around 3 ounces per feeding every 3 hours when mom is away. You can find a quick and easy expressed breastmilk calculator here. It is important to remember that it is very easy to overfeed a baby using bottles.
This is because the way a baby drinks from a bottle is very different than how a baby would nurse from the breast. Shaking breastmilk is also not recommended gently swirl to mix, instead.
Ideally bottlefeeding the baby should mimic how a mother breastfeeds her baby. The baby should be fed on cue, or demand, and not according to a rigid schedule.
Breastmilk digests in about 90 minutes, so one would expect the feedings to be anywhere from 1. The bottle should be offered gently, in a non-stressful manner, with the baby drawing the nipple into the mouth.
The type of bottle or nipple is not as important as the manner in which the bottle is offered. Changing position mid-way through a feeding is often recommended, as is holding baby is a more upright position. Propping a bottle is also not recommended.
First drink plenty of water. Check your pee when you go I know, sounds funny! If it is light yellow to clear, you are plenty hydrated.
Make sure you eat! While you are pumping, you will keep the weight off, I promise! It can make you hungry as a horse and it does that for a reason. You need the extra calories because you are burning so much off! Eventually, your hunger should taper off mine has. Eat REAL oatmeal, not the instant. You can eat the quick oats the ones that cook in 1 minute or the old fashioned oats that cook in 5 minutes.
You can also make cookies that have oatmeal in them and get oatmeal that way I prefer this way! No one is sure how the oatmeal works but it does! Get some rest yeah, I know easier said than done! If you are exhausted and have the opportunity to take a nap even if it pushes your pump back do it! You will actually get more milk that way! Conserving energy is important.
This all depends on how you personally handle stress. I tend to be a thinker, so I think things out a lot. Some suggest drinking dark beer, with or without alcohol. Plus some women just swear by the relaxation it gives them!
