Breast Pump Fitting & Pumping Support
Ensuring proper pumping techniques and lactation support can significantly enhance your breastfeeding experience and make life easier for both you and your little one. Pumping can be a lifesaver for you and your little one. It's not just about convenience; it's about keeping up your milk supply and making sure your baby gets all those important nutrients even when you can't breastfeed directly. Plus, it can be a game-changer for balancing work and motherhood. And you know what? It's not always easy—there are days when you might struggle with pain or worry about how much milk you're producing. But having the right support and knowing that you're doing what's best for your baby keeps you going. It's all about making sure they're happy, healthy, and thriving, right? For moms who are exclusively pumping, it's crucial to know there are resources available to support you, including Cincinnati Breastfeeding Center. Even if you're breastfeeding without any issues but struggling with pumping, the center is there to provide the specialized support that exclusively pumping moms like you need. At CBC, you'll feel fully supported no matter which journey with pumping you are on.
Common Pumping Challenges
We have seen firsthand how tough pumping can be, especially when you're not getting enough milk for your little one. It can present various challenges for moms, and at CBC, we're here to support you through them all. At CBC, we often address discomfort during pumping, which can stem from using incorrect flange sizes or improper techniques. Our

ensure you're equipped with the right tools and methods for optimal comfort and efficiency. Additionally, many moms come to us for help in managing time constraints and achieving a balance between pumping and their other responsibilities. Another challenge we see moms face is inconsistent milk supply, which can impact feeding schedules and cause stress. In fact, we had a mom who was exclusively pumping and struggling with both pain and low milk supply. After a thorough pumping consultation, we figured out that the pain was preventing her from pumping enough times a day. We adjusted her pumping schedule, addressed the pain issue, and even recommended some herbal supplements to boost her milk production. Within just two weeks, she was producing nearly enough milk for her baby, and she didn't need to supplement with formula anymore. She was thrilled that pumping wasn't painful anymore and that she could provide enough milk for her baby. Whatever challenges you're facing with pumping, our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed for a successful pumping journey.
