Successful Breast Milk Expression
The Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Electric Breast Pump is very simple and easy to
use. Like all breast pumps, you may need to try a few times before you
succeed initially. Don’t give up – see below for some helpful tips:
1. Try not to express when you are rushed -- choose a time when you can
relax, free of interruptions.
2. Let-down can be encouraged by having your baby (or your baby’s
photo) nearby.
3. Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow.
4. Try expressing after a bath or a shower.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other,
or immediately pumping after nursing your baby.
If you experience difficulties with breast milk expression, please consult a
lactation consultant or your doctor.
