Usually postpartum women's hormone levels change and prolactin rises. Plus, breastfeeding moms eat a lot of nutritious foods, which can lead to increased milk production. When there is a lot of milk, it may be necessary to express the excess milk with a breast pump. Otherwise, maternal breasts are prone to swelling and pain. Many mothers have bought a Medela breast pump. The following editor will explain the correct use of the Medela breast pump.
PART1 manual or electric?
Manual breast pump
Advantages: strong suction, when the breast duct is blocked, it can usually be unplugged by pulling it with a manual breast pump.
Disadvantage: too laborious, if you are a cow, the manual will tire you out.
Electric breast pump
Advantages: convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, with armrestless bra, you can brush your mobile phone casually when sucking.
Disadvantages: The suction is not as strong as the manual, and the electric breast pump is unreliable when the breast duct is blocked or there is a milk knot.
Manual electric has its own advantages and disadvantages, how to choose? My suggestion is to prepare them if they are not particularly cheap.
PART2 How to use a breast pump to become a cow
The first and most important point is to suck early, and let the baby suck the nipple as soon as possible within two hours after birth to stimulate the secretion of prolactin.
Some mothers can express a little milk in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Of course, most do not have it during pregnancy. Even after giving birth, it takes one to three days to express milk. Before milking, what we need to do is Let the baby suck more, don't let the baby suck because there is no milk, the baby is a milk opener.
After breastfeeding, we will start to use the breast pump to chase the milk.
Every time the baby is hungry and wants to drink milk, first use the breast pump to empty both breasts (in fact, the breasts are not completely empty at this time, because the breast pump cannot suck the milk deep in the breast), and then let the baby suck the milk from both sides. Each suck for 10-15 minutes. At this time, both breasts are basically completely emptied. Emptying the breasts is the key to stimulating more milk production. What if the baby may not have enough to eat? You can feed the baby with the pumped milk from a bottle.
How to use the breast pump:
1. Clean up the electric breast pump and set aside for use;
2. Clean the nipple, put the front end of the electric breast pump and the breast pump directly at the nipple, and squeeze out the air;
3. Plug in the power supply, press the switch, and you can pump milk.
4. Both breasts must be exchanged for pumping; 5. Most electric breast pum
Notice: 1. Be sure to pay attention to safety; 2. After use, clean, dry and disinfect;
Many new mothers start using a breast pump right after giving birth, which is inaccurate. Be sure to let the baby suck and open milk early, so that the new mother can produce milk as soon as possible, so that the baby has enough milk to eat. The breast pump is only used after the baby sucks and there is excess, or after the mother goes to work. Otherwise, the baby is prone to the illusion of nipples, which frustrates breastfeeding.
