Sarah has said it all, just say bye bye to sleep cos u have to be pumping all the time so as to get enough milk for your baby. Pls start now that u are at home, experiment your absence 2wks to when u are resuming. I was feeding my baby every 2hrs then use the pump at intervals. Check for pumps online or just go to the market and buy one.

When expressing with the manual pump it takes a while to fill a container but it's better to do it before you start work so that you have it ready. Try and express when baby is sucking on one side pump the other side or early morning when the breast is full. Please keep the containers clean because it can get easily contaminated.

I think they have it sold in good retail stores. I work from home so its easy to just keep breastfeeding. My neighbour got manual one due to work, from konga and it was due to this no constant light that she went for a manual set rather than the electric pump.

Sarah · Answer

You can express by putting or pumping breastmilk in clean containers in the freezer or fridge in order to store them and I guess she would be left at home with someone who would look after her. She can be given the breastmilk in your absence. When it's almost time for her feeding some of the breastmilk (Using feeding size chart according to thet age of the baby like 180ml for 3-6months old) should be out and kept in room temperature and given to your baby. You are still going to be on EBF.
