In our last ParentingU episode, we talked about how breastfeeding is a journey. One of the stops on that journey is pumping breast milk. How does pumping fit in with the overall baby feeding plan? On this episode we speak to Dr. Gregory Gelpi, MD FAAP, an Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Health pediatrician with special training in breastfeeding, and Becca Miller, SLP, a Certified Lactation Counselor, to get the scoop on what’s involved with pumping, how frequently and how long to pump, what to do with breast milk, and some helpful tips to make breast milk pumping approachable and comfortable.
