Pumping and Bottle Feeding
Using a breast pump can be challenging, I can relate from personal experience. You may find it to be uncomfortable or be concerned about your output. Here we will find a comfortable flange, learn your pump, I will observe a pumping session and provide education when needed. Your baby may also need support in learning to take a bottle or are experiencing bottle refusal.
