How long does it take to pump?

It varies from woman to woman, but the range is between 10 and 20 minutes.

How long should a mother breastfeed?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mother and baby desire with exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. The World Health Organization recommends a combination of complementary feeding (solid foods) and continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age.

When should a baby start eating solid foods such as cereals, vegetables, and fruits?

Breast milk alone is sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first 6 months after birth. For these very young infants, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that water, juice, and other foods are generally unnecessary. Even when babies enjoy discovering new tastes and textures, solid foods should not replace breastfeeding, but merely complement breast milk as the infant’s main source of nutrients throughout the first year. Beyond one year, as the variety and volume of solid foods gradually increase, breast milk remains an ideal addition to the child’s diet.

How do I store breast milk?

Be sure to wash hands before expressing or handling breast milk. When collecting milk, be sure to store it in clean containers, such as screw cap bottles, hard plastic cups with tight caps, or Dr. Brown’s milk storage bags. If delivering breast milk to a child care provider, clearly label the container with the child’s name and date. Clearly label the milk with the date it was expressed to facilitate using the oldest milk first. Do not add fresh milk to already frozen milk within a storage container. It is best not to mix the two. Do not save milk from a used bottle for use at another feeding. Thaw frozen breast milk by swirling it in warm running water. Do NOT use a microwave oven to thaw or heat bottles of breast milk.
