BF question for Lenore - 06/05/06 01:43 AM
Dear Lenore,
Hello. I needed to know a couple of things that maybe you can help me with.
My baby will be born on Tuesday the 6th and I will be at the hospital with him the whole time. I plan on breastfeeding him right away but I have a few questions.
I did the accelerated protocol and have been getting sprays of milk when I express, but I can't get any out when I pump...is this normal? I use the Medela Lactina. It seems like when I express, it never stops, so I do it for about 15 minutes, about 6 times a day.
Since I am getting a good amount when I express....spraying from both breasts, will I get more once the baby is actually suckling?
Today, when I was working on the nursery, I "leaked" from one breast...is this also normal?
Thanks in advance and Thank you for the information that is provided on this site.
