A. Hi... You have a newborn baby and I wouldn’t recommend using a breast pump. This is the time for you to directly feed your baby. Expressed Breastmilk can only take care of the external needs of the baby but the child’s emotional needs are fulfilled only by direct breastfeeding with proper hold and latch. The sucking action that the child does while breastfeeding is very essential for the child as it activates the facial muscles. The movement of the tongue helps baby with complete body as the frenulum of the tongue to connected till your foot as a single layer. It helps you bond well with your baby and understands in instant needs of the child. The milk changes its composition with every feed to meet the needs of the baby. Please try to feed your baby directly...

A. Yea absolutely.. I am using Luvlap breast pump.. it is very comfortable for me to feed at night.. I dont have to sit for longer hours.. but while pumping make sure that your nipples are properly placed as the use in wrong form can damage the breast and nipple tissues..
