Breast pumping

Hi mommy. Based on Supply and Demand po kasi ang bm production natin. So the more ang nailalabas na milk sa breasts natin, the more it signals our body to make more milk. Ang problem is that in the first few weeks post-partum, unstable pa ang milk supply natin dahil hindi pa nito sure kung how much ba talaga ang needed consumption ni baby. Kaya sa simula, we have painful breast engorgement, and in severe cases it can lead to mastitis (usually involves infection). At kapag nagpump agad earlier than 6 weeks post-partum, it can worsen the engorgement and more prone to mastitis. Kaya po not recommended muna magpump kaagad para maiwasan ito ☺️ Before 6 weeks, pwede naman po magpump/ express but only to provide relief from breast engorgement, or para mabawasan lang ang strong pressure kung nasasamid si baby. But don't pump to drain the breast completely ☺️
