One tip I have for pumping away from your baby(like at work) is to look at pictures of your baby, or videos of them. It helps you to have that bonding feeling and thereby helping your milk let down and express better. I remember that helped me with my first baby a lot.

When did you start pumping?
I'm going to be a FTM in 8 weeks and I found this video to be super helpful! It definitely answered a lot of the questions I had around pumping for when I return to work and gave me a little confidence that I CAN do it❤ Looking forward to seeing more of your content😊
Glad i found your channel when i was about 20 weeks pregnant. I watched most of your videos and i must say it really helped me a lot with my birthing preparation. I had a wonderful and empowered birthing experience. My baby is now 4weeks old! This video just helped me prepare for my pumping sesh. Thanks for being my virtual doula, Bridget! Sending love from Philippines ❤
The little silicone pump is amazing! I really wish I knew about it when I had my first baby. You can express while baby is feeding and doesn’t take up any more time. Newborns are exhausting so one less task to try and fit in is wonderful!
Hi Bridget, I just recently came across your channel and currently binging all your content as I wait and prepare for baby to arrive. Currently 37 weeks! They are so helpful and full of great information. Love your positivity. Keep it up!
Mommas! In the hospital my nurse and I used the Medela pump. It had ALOT of parts. I walked away with a kitchen size trash bag of parts they gave me. Target did not have the Medela, so my husband got the EVENFLO just for me to look at since I had my mind made up to get the Medela. When he got home, I had to use it because I was so engorged and needed a release. Needless to say, I’ve never looked back. It is the EASIEST pump, the parts are so simple and to clean after each session only takes < 1 minute. I easily take it room to room and even have used it in the car. I would highly recommend, especially for new mothers. We need simplicity!
As a mom with shallow nipples and a premie who’s been forced to exclusively pump Thankyou. I never imagined I’d be here exclusively pumping but it’s what she needs. I’m a little heart broken and feel like I’m not “needed” as much as I’m staying home currently but doing my best to cope currently.

Bridget, you are SO helpful!!! I was feeling overwhelmed with pumping and feeling a bit anxious as well. This video really broke it all down for me! Thank you!
This info is so helpful!! Another tip I have for those who are pumping (I’m not sure if it was mentioned) is if it gets frustrating or seems like you’re full but nothing is coming out with the pump.. hand expressing is really helpful too!! Of course it’s hard to do that for a long period of time, but if you need to get a bit more out that the pump isn’t getting, it works great

I’m 23 and just moved back to America from living in Asia. Just had my babygirl at home. Didn’t know I would be returning to the States, but we were forced to due to Covid-19. I was preparing to have my child in Asia. I watched so many of your videos as I prepared overseas- wishing I could have a homebirth. We lived in rural Cambodia and were 9 hours from the nearest hospital, so a homebirth was out of the question. Upon returning to America, I decided I wanted a homebirth and was able to have a beautiful, complication free birth at home. Your videos have been so helpful to me as I was overseas and also post partum! Thank you Bridget!
You are so helpful! I felt so discourage pumping and you made me feel better about how much I’m pumping out, even though I’m also breastfeed! Thank you for making this video!
I will definitely say she helped my gf be able to get more milk out. She's only been able to get almost 10 ml out but after this video i helped massage etc and we got 50 ml. We were so happy thank you so much
So grateful for all these helpful tips with my fifth baby, wish I knew about all this with my first!

Thank you. This is my second baby and now I’m realizing the mistakes I made with my first as to why I stopped producing enough after 3months and returning back to work. I’m about to head back to work in a few days if it works out so this helps a lot. I’m so nervous
I love your videos, you are super positive and helpful.
You’re so right about the ounces I was only getting 1 oz and thought my milk supply went doesn’t but baby was nursing well
This was SO helpful and thorough! Thank you so much for sharing. 👏🏻🙏🏻

I wish I saw this video 6 years ago, I tried breastfeeding/pumping for the first time and failed but 3 years after that I tried again and it was a success. I’m currently expecting and can’t wait to breastfeed again.
My first 2 babies refused to latch,no matter what lactation nurses tried to help me do. So even though I’m a sahm,I bought a Lasinoh manual pump to take to the hospital this pregnancy,(33 weeks)just in case this baby doesn’t latch either. I’ll be stimulating and pumping and feed her whatever I’m able to produce🥰

Great video and I completely agree with your recommendation about using the Haakaa early on and how and when to use the electric pump. I just wanted to add that the hospital grade pumps aren't necessarily stronger than the single user pumps. But they're designed to be used by many different people (cleaning in between) and have dual motors and programs with pre-settings to help stimulate production. Those are available for rent if mom and baby are separated or baby is unable to latch for medical reasons.

My maternity leave is pretty generous at 4.5 months, but I'm looking forward to doing some pumping somewhat early so I can build up a stash for emergencies, the hubby, and eventually going back to work.
Hi Bridget! Thanks for a very informative video. I was frustrated about the amount of milk I always get in each pumping session as I thought it was equivalent to what my son gets.

HI Bridget! First time mum here :-) Such an informative video, watched this because I didn't know where to start with milk supply and pumping (going back to work in a month or so) and this is super helpful! Question: I already have a Hakaa, but no electric pump yet. What about combining the Hakaa and a Medela Swing Flex (only on one side)? Would this work too or will this not express enough during a 9-5 work day? Thanks and keep up the great videos!!
What are your thoughts on colostrum harvesting? I plan on starting around 37 weeks incase baby will need it and to kick start labor. If you could make a video on this topic that would be amazing!
Im super excited and I will try my best to only breastfeed.
You really nailed it for me at the end of your video (everything else was great info too!!). I needed to hear this. Been having issues with breastfeeding (my 2 week old first child) and been pumping and supplementing with formula to feed him (only had a handful successful breast feeds - thankfully have an appt with a lactation consultant soon). But I have been focusing on the pumping output number so much always checking if my supply increased from one day to the next. Currently just expressing about 1 Oz max per session. Great pumping tips, I have to implement them.

Hi Bridget, Thank you so much for this and all your videos!! I'm addicted to your channel :) I have a doubt. If I have one of those milk bags to freeze but I only get a little bit of milk at a time, how long can I wait in order to collect more milk in the same bag before storing it away in the freezer?
I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and I just got a pump donated to me. Set it all up to see if it worked (I checked the suction on my thigh) and I was so anxious and scared of it for some reason ! 😂😂
this is the best video about pumping while breastfeeding I have found thank you so much! Its hard not be discouraged when most videos are for exclusively pumping moms and they are getting so many oz per pump, im only getting 1 or two
really helpful video thank you for the tips!!
Awesome video! Thank you❤️
I love her!!!! amazing woman!!
Thank goodness I found your KZread. I was stressing about breastfeeding and labor and my sister turn me to you and I kid you not it gives me now hope and idea on how to do it
So excited to try the haakaa this time around. I'm hoping it makes some kind of difference. I always end up supplementing since my milk takes forever to come in, I have horrible success with all the pumps I've tried, and hate being stuck in a chair attached to something all the time. My brain is really dark and slow for at least the first few months, and it's a terrible time for problem solving all this. I do try to make up for it with a good goat milk formula and at least 18 months of breastfeeding. I'll probably also break out the old Medela and see if any of these tips help.
I always found that looking at pictures or videos of my baby while I was pumping helped me have a let down and get more milk expressed.
