Double Pumping Breastfeeding
Medela have recently made some discoveries in the benefits of double pumping. There are lots of ways to pump breast milk and a few types of pumps available. You use whatever is best and works for you. I have however read up on this double pumping and having been one to pump breast milk i think this is a great discovery.
Benefits
Twice as fast to pump. It will save time for the pumping mum because not only does she have to feed baby that take up lots of time but you have to spend lots of time pumping! This will make pumping twice as fast and give mum time for a shower!
More Milk. Up to 18% more milk compared to single pumping in a pumping session when sequentially pumping on both breasts. Pumping can actually be hard work. I would have cried to get 18% more for my very hungry babies!
More Good Stuff. Provides milk with higher energy content which is especially important for preterm babies.
Helps with Lactation. High energy content indicates increased breast drainage thereby assisting in the maintenance of lactation.
Helps you keep the milk supply. Increased levels of prolactin – leading to increased milk output.
80% of the milk supply pumped in the first SIX minutes! - This benefit alone would have this Mum ordering a double pump!
There is a lot of study that has gone into these benefits and you can read it all for yourself on the Medela Website.
