Why Should I Pump Breast Milk?
Why Should I Pump Breast Milk?
There are many reasons to pump breast milk. Some babies have trouble with direct breastfeeding and latching. Some moms have a hard time expressing enough milk, and pumping in between feeding sessions may help you increase your milk supply. And some moms just have a busy schedule, and pumping milk allows them more flexibility in their schedule. Even if you plan on directly breastfeeding your baby most of the time, it doesn’t hurt to have extra breast milk stored in the freezer or refrigerator. Eventually, there will be a time where you have an appointment or an evening out when you can’t take your baby along with you. If you pump milk ahead of time, the babysitter can just grab it from the fridge. And there’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Additionally, pumping milk gives you the chance to donate any extra milk you have. This way, you can help out women who aren’t able to breastfeed their babies themselves but still want their babies to get all the nutritional benefits of breast milk.
What's the Best Way to Store Breast Milk?
What’s the Best Way to Store Breast Milk?
You want to make sure that you store your breast milk properly so that your baby can get the full health benefits of the breast milk. You want to use storage bags or bottles that are specifically designed for breast milk and made without BPA. Make sure you label each bag or bottle with the date you pumped the milk. This way, you can make sure you’re using the oldest milk first. And if you’re using a child care facility, put your name on the bag too, so it doesn’t get mixed up with another mom’s milk.
When you’re storing your breast milk, it’s best to put it in the back of the refrigerator or freezer. The coldest part of the fridge is in the back, away from the opening and shutting door. If you’re going to be away from your fridge for a few hours, you can store your breast milk in a cooler with ice packs until you get back home. Another breast milk storage tip — fill each individual container with a small amount your baby will be able to drink in a single feeding. Once you thaw the milk once and your baby doesn’t drink all of it, you can’t refreeze it and reuse it. Using smaller portions from about two to four ounces means that you won’t be wasting any breast milk.
