[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As far back as ancient Rome and Greece, mothers have used various forms of breast pumps to help extract milk for their babies.\u00a0 Some long-ago contraptions were straw-like, while others looked like bicycle horns!\u00a0 (I was the daughter of a mother having her last child in the eighties and distinctly remember her wild-looking pump). \u00a0\u00a0We have come a long way since those early days and some of the newest pumps on the market are simple silicone pumps<\/a> This single piece of silicone attaches to the breast with suction and pulls out the milk using a negative vacuum. These simple pumps have so many advantages but there are also some common uses of the pump that we want to try to avoid.<\/p>\n

I do want to take a moment to mention here that a breastfeeding parent need never pump.\u00a0 As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I have helped countless clients with nursing who have never used a pump at all.\u00a0 \u00a0You may feel pressured to purchase a fancy electric pump or may be recommended to acquire one of a variety of other pumps on the market.\u00a0 \u00a0None are truly necessary. However, there are many situations when pumping is absolutely needed or desired.\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0For more detail on pumps and the kind of pumps you may consider based on your unique needs, you can see my blog post here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

When not to use the Silicone Pump<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with what not<\/strong> to do.\u00a0 In my practice I see many nursing parents using the silicone pumps incorrectly.\u00a0 While it is marketed to be placed on one side as you are nursing from the other we actually want to avoid<\/em> this practice<\/strong>.\u00a0 Most babies tend to need to feed from at least both sides (and sometimes from many more).\u00a0 When we place the silicone pump on the second side, while we are nursing from the first,\u00a0 we are essentially taking milk AWAY from baby that they would like when they need to move to that second side (which again \u2013 most babies need to do). \u00a0\u00a0I once had a lovely and determined nursing mother use the silicone pump as directed (on the second side while nursing on the first).\u00a0 She was always very disappointed that she needed to use pumped milk to supplement her baby after almost all feeds.\u00a0 When I pointed out that she was taking milk out of the breast that baby actually needed during their time there a light bulb went on!\u00a0 She discontinued pumping altogether and baby fed very well.\u00a0 When using the silicone pump, or any pump, always remember to only pump right after<\/em> a feed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Read through the following blog post<\/a> to understand how to tell whether your baby needs to switch sides. The silicone pumps may also not be appropriate if a nursing parent is returning to work early or needs to pump to help increase milk production.\u00a0 They are simply not the most powerful choice and it would be important to speak to one\u2019s lactation consultant to assess appropriate use.<\/p>\n

The advantages of a silicone pump<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n

If used correctly silicone pumps can be an excellent choice.\u00a0 For cases where parents require additional milk for the occasional bottle they can be fantastic.<\/p>\n

Inexpensive<\/u><\/em><\/h3>\n

Silicone pumps are inexpensive.\u00a0 They can be a wonderful way to collect milk without having to invest in a pricey electric or manual pump.\u00a0 If they are working well for you there is an option to purchase two and create a mini double pump for under $75.00!\u00a0 Some nursing parents will also purchase a single electric<\/a> or manual pump<\/a> and use that on one side while fixing the silicone pump to the second side.\u00a0 Again, a less expensive double pump!<\/p>\n

On the go<\/u><\/em><\/h3>\n

Silicone pumps are easy to use on the go.\u00a0 Some mothers are able to suction the pump to their breasts creating a completely hands-free experience.\u00a0 Using a hands free pumping bra<\/a> with the silicone pump can help with this.\u00a0 They are also very easy to transport and require no batteries or electrical outlets.\u00a0 \u00a0Washing them is also very easy as they are just one piece as opposed to many little bits and pieces.\u00a0 Popping just one piece into the dishwasher or sterilizer is a breeze.<\/p>\n

Comfort<\/u><\/h3>\n

Silicone pumps may also be more comfortable.\u00a0 In my practice I have had some mothers who find electric pumps irritate their already painful and very damaged nipples.\u00a0 Using the silicone pump these mothers are able to yield as much milk as an electric pump with zero pain!\u00a0\u00a0 The key to yielding more milk if the electric pump is not an option due to pain or expense would be to massage and compress the breasts while using the pump.<\/p>\n

Blocked Ducts<\/u><\/h3>\n

Silicone pumps can help remove a stubborn, blocked duct.\u00a0 First fill the pump full of enough warm water to cover the nipple and one to two tablespoons of \u00a0Epsom salts.\u00a0 Placing the silicone pump on the affected breast (with the nipple submerged in water) may help to better suction out the blockage.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0This method can be repeated 3-5 times per day until the block is released.\u00a0 It can be helpful to do some gentle breast massage to loosen the block before using this method.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget to talk to your International Board Certified Lactation Consultant if you are experiencing frequent blocked ducts as this could mean a latching or feeding management issue.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Happy nursing (and happy pumping) and don\u2019t forget to reach out if you are having any concerns!<\/p>\n
