Breastfeeding:Pumping to Increase Your Milk Supply
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that baby should be exclusively breastfed throughout the first six months of life, and even after solid foods are introduced, up to two years. Yet most mothers say that they don’t reach their own breastfeeding goals, particularly when they are going back to work.
Pumping and storing milk
The tip is if you’re going to be away from your baby for more than a couple hours each day, you’ll need to pump to keep your milk supplies up...a lot. You can get breast milk by hand or pump it with a breast pump. It may take a few days or weeks for your baby to get used to breast milk in a bottle. So it's advisable to begin practicing early if you're going back to work. Breast milk can be safely used within 2 days if it's stored in a refrigerator. Breast milk can be frozen for up to 6 months. Do not warm up or thaw frozen breast milk in a microwave. That will destroy some of its immune-boosting qualities, and it can cause fatty portions of the breast milk to become super hot. Thaw breast milk in the refrigerator or in a bowl of warm water instead.
