Summary

When Dianna had her first baby she felt like no one explained anything about pumping. Hospital staff didn’t tell her about her options, sizing and fit, or even how to do it. Dianna’s own journey led her to found Pump with Purpose, a global lactation private practice for people who want to include pumping in their journey, either exclusively or in addition to nursing. They help the breastfeeding community with common concerns like increasing supply, finding the right pump and flange, and getting onto a schedule. She is so passionate about her work and it comes through in the conversation. Most people will wind up using a breast pump at some point so everyone should know this information.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-How to decide which breast pump is right for you

-Which factors to consider when deciding what size flange to use

-Why you need a pumping bra and what makes it different from a nursing bra

-How people get on a pumping schedule

-How to increase milk supply

-What some of the most common issues are that people have with breastmilk collection

-What “pumping self-care” means
