Pregnancy Info HOME

1. Some babies are efficient nursers and will get all they need in only a few minutes. Is the baby wetting 8-10 diapers a day? Is the baby having bowel movements? Does the baby seem content? If so, then the baby is probably getting enough. 2. No, the baby will get more than the pump. No pump is as efficient and motivated as a baby. 3. Breastfeeding is a demand = supply system. Increased frequency of feedings will increase breastmilk supply. Conversely, limiting feedings will result in decreased supply. Helpful websites: La Leche League, kellymom.com, breastfeeding. com
