Hands-free Breast Pumping

Step 5

When you're done, remove the flanges, pull the top layer of cloth down, and make sure your nipples aren't directly behind the slit. Go back to work, go to the grocery store, or do whatever else you were going to do. You don't need to change the bra, since it should look like a normal one under clothes.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. my wife gave birth to twins on Tuesday and pumping is making her crazy already. I just forwarded her the link to this.

Wow, congratulations! Are the babies premature, or having a hard time latching? It seems really early to be pumping. Make sure your wife gets lots of support -- there are groups for pumping mothers online, and sites like kellymom.com are extremely helpful with nursing. It's probably not going to be easy early on, especially with twins, but it's one of the best things you can do for your babies, and someone who's dedicated enough to pump for newborns deserves so much credit.

I agree with Amiga500. Since we are built for breastfeeding twins, I'm hoping your wife gets to move on to that soon so she doesn't have to pump so much. No matter what your situation, having a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) on your health care team is priceless!

Excellent, I've got to go back to work after 6 weeks, and this will do nicely.

Can we see how it works :)

That wold be step 4. If you'd like to see a breast pump in action, YouTube has videos of that.

very good idea..this would have been handy back when I was breastfeeding! maybe a little velcro closure on the bottom to keep the cloth down would be helpful also
