Get the Best Insurance Breast Pump for You

Embarking on the breastfeeding journey? It’s time to get to know your new breast friend–the breast pump.

Stock Up on Breastfeeding Accessories

Once you get your insurance breast pump, it’s time to accessorize. Breast pump accessories aren’t just for looks, though. From extra bottles and storage bags to nursing bras and Freemie Collection Cups, breast pump accessories are designed to make your breastfeeding experience as easy and efficient as possible. In addition to breastfeeding accessories, postpartum compression garments can also give new moms more physical freedom and help speed up recovery from pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Make the most of your breastfeeding journey by expecting the best but preparing for the worst. Plus, extra storage bags, nursing bras, or bottles never hurt anyone.

Learn from the Pros

No one ever mastered breastfeeding in the first day of motherhood–and if they did, we haven’t heard about it. In fact, this intuitive process is rarely easy. There is a lot that can go wrong as moms and babies learn to work together throughout each feeding. Addressing these challenges before they become significant problems can help moms and babies breastfeed for longer without frustration.

A breastfeeding class during pregnancy or an appointment with a lactation consultant after delivery gives new moms a head-start.. In addition to breastfeeding diet tips, help with positioning, and latching guidance, a lactation consultant can advise moms on the best breast pumps. It’s also important to communicate consistently with your obstetrician throughout your pregnancy and your time breastfeeding. Your doctor will write you a prescription for a breast pump and can advise you on diet changes or medication to make the best breast milk for your little one. 

Plan to Breastfeed Immediately After Delivery

When it comes to breastfeeding, the sooner, the better! The World Health Organization encourages moms to breastfeed and initiate skin-to-skin contact as soon as possible after delivery. Ideally, new moms begin a breastfeeding session within an hour of birth. Many hospitals provide support for new moms through nurses or lactation consultants. For moms who are separated from their newborns immediately, getting mom’s breast milk to these little ones is still essential. Hospital staff should be able to help new moms express breast milk, either through a multi-user, hospital-grade breast pump, or by teaching moms how to express milk by hand or with a manual breast pump.

Create a Support System

Having encouragement from the people around you can make or break your experience. Breastfeeding is mentally, emotionally, and physically draining. Although it has amazing benefits for babies, moms need support throughout every step of the process. 

Whatever the AAP says, those six months of exclusive breastfeeding can feel endless and will require a lot of work from determined moms. Thankfully, new moms don’t have to do it alone.
