Breast Pump• Not always practical, affordable or available• Preferable to express milk by hand. • Help mother to choose an effective pump, show her
how to use • Usually helpful to stimulate oxytocin reflex before
pumping by sitting comfortably relaxing. • Double pumping increases mother’s prolactin level –
for large volumes of milk / short time to pump.• Mother does not need to keep pumping if the milk is
flowing.• Ensure mother to sterilise pump if she intends to
feed baby. • Avoid the rubber bulb type hand pumps - damage
mother’s nipples, difficult to clean and the milk cannot be used for feeding a baby.
