Breast pump
Hi mummies, do I need to prepare to bring my own breast pump to the hospital before I give birth?
Many hospitals recommend direct latching at the beginning, so if you’re only going to stay for 1-2 days, you probably don’t need to:) My daughter had to be readmitted at day 6 of life for phototherapy due to jaundice. So I brought my pump to pump out milk for her. I could only see and feed her every 3 hours, so I pumped at the 1.5 hour mark.

I did direct latching during my stay in hospital but I think breast pump is a good to have to stimulate it more when baby isn’t with you or the Nurses there can teach you how to do it if you’re a first time mum. It’s good to have but not a must have.
i bring but no use cos my milk only kick in on 3rd day and still very little, can just let baby latch if baby don't hv any complications
