Medela Lactina and Classic Breast Pump Manual De Usuario

Until they reach their due date, many preterm babies con-

tinue to need extra help to grow well.  Frequent feeding and

skin-to-skin holding are still important.  You may need to

continue to pump for 5-10 minutes after breastfeeding to

obtain hindmilk that baby might miss.  This high-calorie milk

should be fed to your baby to ensure good weight gain.  As

the baby grows stronger, pumping can be tapered off.

Many experts now recommend weighing the baby frequently.

This reassures parents that their baby is growing well.
