Things to know when pumping breast milk

Browse By

Every mother knows that breast milk is best for babies because breast milk contains synbiotics that help strengthen the body’s immune system. Pumping breast milk is a convenient and time-saving way to store breast milk while breastfeeding. It also helps mothers worry about insufficient milk supply when breastfeeding.

In addition, if you are busy or have to work outside the home, the person who takes over can feed the baby immediately. It is important for mothers to learn how to pump and store milk to ensure that the baby receives quality milk, which is also good for the health of the mother’s breasts.

Generally, mothers usually choose to buy a breast pump based on their budget and preferences. Breast pumps usually come with a user manual โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที. The main method for pumping milk is as follows:

  • Read the breast pump user manual carefully.
  • Sit in a comfortable position.
  • Wash your hands, breast pump equipment and bottles thoroughly.
  • Check the breast pump equipment carefully.
  • The breast pump must fit the mother’s breasts.
  • Pumping is similar to breastfeeding. Mothers can adjust the level while using the breast pump.

Each pumping session takes about 15-20 minutes. When finished, gently remove the breast pump funnel from the breast and immediately store the milk in a cool place to preserve its quality. In fact, freezing for a long time may lose some nutrients or immune boosters in breast milk. If possible, fresh milk is best. In cases where mothers need to store frozen milk, we recommend a method to thaw milk, which has many methods as follows:

  • Soak the frozen milk bottles or bags in a bowl of warm water, not hot water.
  • Hold the bottle or bag of frozen breast milk under running tap water for at least 10 minutes.
  • Move from the freezer to the refrigerator for 1 night before reheating and using as usual.
  • Melted milk should not be reheated for reuse.

In addition, never boil or heat it in a microwave oven, as some nutrients will be destroyed. Also, you should throw away the milk that you have pumped and not finished feeding your baby. Don’t be stingy. You should not save the milk for your baby to drink next time, as it may contain microorganisms that can make your baby sick.
