Tips and Tricks for Breastfeeding / Pumping

Increasing milk supply:

Washing / Storing

Breastmilk can stay good in the fridge for up to 6 days
Freshly pumped milk can stay out up to 6 hours - if you pump in the middle of the night, you can leave it out until you wake again (because who actually gets 6 hours of sleep!)
Pump parts, if kept cold, can technically be used over and over again for up to 6 days, though I recommend cleaning them every few days
Put the entire pump part in two coffee mugs in the fridge after using
I pump directly into my Dr. brown's bottles, this way I don't have to clean/lose milk when transferring
Heat whatever you pump the milk into before transferring as to not lose the fat thT builds up on the side when stored in the fridge
Put all of your bottles and pump pieces in the dishwasher - I like to use an empty dishwasher on the sanitize setting. I put the small pieces in a separate container. I also use the honest company dishwater pods
