Is there a guide for pumping? That explains how to pump and what not to do. When I first came across pumping I thought it was a simple action to perform. After reading more and more threads I figured out it's not that simple as a lot of things can go wrong.
How I think the steps are/my questions:
- Probably use a device from Noogleberry
- Does the dome need to fit the surface of your boob? So if you have AA's but the surface of your boob is 15x15cm, you need to find a dome that fits the 15x15cm even though your boob does not fill the content/volume of the dome. (sorry I don't know how to explain it more clearly)
- Buy the cup rings for more comfort? To prevent scarring
- Always use bandages on your nipples? Two bandages in a cross per nipple
- Cover your boobs with oil while pumping
- Always massage after pumping? To prevent complications like broken capilaries
- Do you need to pump everyday? Or do you need to stop in luteal phase for example, because your boobs are a little sore in that period?
- This made me a little bit concerned. Some people had some serious complications. Is it recommended to take a long break after a period of time? How long and after how long?
- Did I miss something
