Well Hakka breast pump is a new Buzz in the town And many moms are actually loving it!!
The best thing about this pump is, it’s convenient and hassle free! No electricity no cords. Lets see how this breast pump is different than others in the market!
How it works?
All breastfeeding moms experience this, when we are feeding our baby let’s say on right breast, the other one starts leaking!!! Well, this leaking is called Let Down Reflex. This reflex is actually a good sign, this shows that you are making a good amount of milk and also baby is latching and sucking well.
So, you have to place this pump on your nipple and apply suction and gently massage the top of your breast, once the milk starts to flow simply leave the pump & let it do its thing.
Yes! It’s that easy.
Many of us prefer to use breast pads to stay dry if there is a leakage from other breast while feeding your little one! But all that milk goes to waste!!!
Why waste our Liquid gold.! When we can easily collect it!!
This pump is also available in india! Plz check the video on YouTube about how to use Hakka Breast Pump!
Newborn babies are meant to get hungry very often! They need to eat every 2-3 hours. In an average 8-12 time in a day. Babies who are exclusively on breastfeeding could eat every 1.5 hours, that make around 15 times a day. It’s a good idea to feed your baby on demand, both day and night!!
This will also help you to increase your breast milk supply. Breast milk is produced as per your baby’s demand, the more your baby demands, the more milk will be produced.
If you are formula feeding your baby, please follow recommended measurements by your paediatrician. Newborn Babies have very small stomach size,over feeding them could cause them spitting up more often and have reflux.
It’s hard to tell if your baby is getting enough milk if your baby is exclusively breastfeeding .
