Medela congratulates you on your decision to provide your baby
the healthy benefits of breastmilk. You play a very important part
in giving your baby the food he needs for a bright future. This
guide will give you helpful information on breastfeeding, breastmilk,
pumping, and breastmilk storage.
Your breastmilk is the perfect food for your baby. Breastmilk has
important protective antibodies, unavailable in any other source.
That is why leading health organizations including the American
Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, and
UNICEF recommend breastfeeding for at least the first 12 months
of your baby’s life. When you breastfeed, you, your baby and
your family benefit.

Why is Breastmilk So Important?
Benefits to Mom
Mothers who breastfeed also receive many benefits from
breastfeeding including:
• Developing a strong bond with baby.
• Helping the uterus return to pre-pregnancy size more quickly.
• Burning more calories.
• Producing relaxing hormones.
• Reducing the risk of developing premenopausal breast cancer.
• Reducing the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers.
• Reducing the risk of developing Type-II diabetes.
Breastfeeding and Human Lactation / [edited by] Jan Riordan, Kathleen G. Auerbach – 2nd ed.
Benefits to Family
Your breasts contain an
amazing milk production
system that is triggered by
your pregnancy hormones. As
soon as your baby is born, your
breastfeeding hormones start
working. The baby nursing at
your breast signals your body to
start making more milk.
• In early weeks of
breastfeeding, your baby
will need to feed 8-12 times
during a 24 hour period.
• Try not to breastfeed by the
clock, but rather when your
baby seems hungry.
•
• Both the frequency and
length of feeding session will
continue to change as your
baby grows.
Depending on the cost of formula and how much your baby needs each day, you could save $43.86 to $194.22 in formula costs in just the
first month.
• In one year, a family with one infant could save
anywhere between $714.42 and $3,163.86 by
feeding breastmilk rather than buying formula.1
• Breastfeeding also helps save on health care costs as breastfed infants typically need fewer health care visits, prescriptions and hospitalizations.

Getting Started
Breastfeeding takes a little
practice. Sometimes it takes a
while for babies to get used to
the new world around them. In
the first few days after birth, the
initial milk produced is called
colostrum. It is thick, yellowish
in color and contains large
amounts of antioxidants, and
protective and growth factors
that your baby needs.
• The length of a
breastfeeding session
can vary.
Did you know?
Your family will also benefit financially when you choose
to breastfeed.
• By six months, the cost savings from not feeding
formula can add up to be $375.34 to $1,662.22.
2
Breastfeeding Basics
Colostrum helps your baby’s
digestive tract and acts like a
first vaccination. Although the
amounts of colostrum produced
seem small, during the first few
days it is all your baby needs.
Over the next few weeks, the
quantity and consistency of
your breastmilk changes as
your body adapts to your
baby’s needs. If you have
concerns regarding your baby
getting enough to eat, call your
pediatric healthcare provider.

Signs Breastfeeding Is Going Well
When breastfeeding is going well, it is convenient and easy. Some
mothers find it challenging in the beginning and some worry that
they will not make enough milk. Here is a chart (page 6-7) and
some tips you may find reassuring and helpful.
How Often Should You Breastfeed?
One helpful way to tell if your baby is getting enough
milk is to look at his diapers.
Wet Diapers
•After the first week, your baby should have at least 6 wet
diapers every 24 hours.This tells you that the baby is getting
enough fluid.
• Your baby needs to feed 8 or more times in a 24-hour period.
•It’s normal for your baby to want to nurse a lot in the
first month.
•When you nurse as long and as often as your baby wants, you
are telling your breasts how much milk to make.
Soiled/Dirty
•Your baby’s bowel movements will change in color from very
dark and sticky (meconium) to yellow and soft over the first 4-5
days of life.This tells you that your baby is digesting breastmilk.
Your Baby’s Tummy Size
•By day 5, your baby should have at least 3 large, soft to runny
yellow bowel movements every 24 hours.
•Your milk supply is made to match the size of your
baby’s stomach.
•It is normal for some babies to have a bowel movement every
time they breastfeed.
•Right after birth, your baby’s stomach is small - about the size
of a cherry. You will make the right amount of colostrum to
meet his early growth needs.
•As your baby grows bigger and gains weight, your breasts make more milk to keep up with his needs.

From day 4 onward your baby should gain 2/3 to 11/3 oz. per day
and regain his or her birth weight by 10 to 14 days.
Babies often experience a sudden burst in
growth - a growth “spurt” - at certain times
within their first few weeks. During these
growth spurts, your baby may want to
nurse more than usual.

Breastpumping
Your Baby’s Weight
Your healthcare professional
may decide to weigh your baby
before and after you breastfeed
on a special BabyWeigh™ scale.
This scale can correctly measure
very small amounts to determine
how much breastmilk your baby
received during the
breastfeed. BabyWeigh scales
are also available for rental use
by calling 1-800-TELL YOU
(1-800-835-5968).
Growth Spurts
•In the first few weeks, there
will be times when your
baby seems hungry and
wants to nurse more than
usual.
•Even if your breasts do not
feel full, go ahead and let
the baby breastfeed.

Choosing The Right
Breastpump
Depending on your lifestyle,
there are many breastpumps
available to meet your needs.
A good breastpump is
comfortable, has the latest
technology based on research
and is easy to operate whether
it is electric or manual. All babies
start their breastfeeds with fast,
short sucks to stimulate the milk
flow. Only when the milk starts
to flow do they drink more
slowly and take deeper sucks.

Pump In Style® Advanced

Pump In Style®

(backpack or shoulder bag)
Breastpumping can help
maintain your milk supply when
you have to be away from baby
(ie: returning to work), and allow
you to successfully breastfeed
when you are back with your
baby again. It is best to establish
breastfeeding for 3 to 4 weeks
before introducing a bottle.
If you are returning to work or
school it is a good idea to begin
pumping at least 1 to 2 weeks
prior to going back. This allows
you to develop a routine, build
up a stock of breastmilk and get
baby used to drinking out of a
bottle.

Breastpumping
Collection and Storage of Breastmilk
Breastpumping Tips
Collection and Storage of Breastmilk
When separated from baby, pump your milk at the times
you would be breastfeeding. The time required for a pumping
session varies:
If you are planning to store your breastmilk from a pumping
session, you can pump directly into a storage container (i.e.
breastmilk bottle or storage bags) that can go directly into the
refrigerator or freezer. Be sure that the collection containers you
choose to pump and store your milk in are BPA-free. For more
information on BPA-free products, please visit
www.medelabpafree.com.
•A high performing double electric pump will take less time.
Pumping sessions typically last 12 to 15 minutes.
•Plan to return to work mid-week so you can ease into your
new routine.
•A single electric pump will take twice as long draining each
breast one at a time.
•Manual pumps can often take up to 20 minutes per breast.
Helpful Breastpumping Tips
•Begin to pump to store milk one to two weeks before
returning to work.
•Plan to return to work mid-week so you can ease into your
new routine.
•Pump three times during an eight hour work shift, or every
three hours you are away from your baby. If you can’t pump
three times, pump as much as you can during each day.
•Breastfeeding when you are home with baby helps maintain
your milk supply and protects your special bond with
your baby.
•When you will be away from baby, before you leave, pump
enough milk for the time you will be away. While you are away
you should pump when your baby would be breatstfeeding.
This milk is then available for when you go away again.

If your baby was born prematurely, these guidelines

healthcare provider for the recommended storage
guidelines for your specific situation.
Never microwave breastmilk. Microwaving can cause
severe burns to baby’s mouth from hot spots that develop
in the milk during microwaving. Microwaving can also
change the composition of breastmilk.

Overcoming Challenges
Cleaning
Overcoming Challenges
Cleaning
While breasfeeding is a wonderful and rewarding experience,
it is a learning process for you and your baby. You might need
some help. If you are having any concerns, it is important that you
contact your lactation consultant or healthcare professional as
soon as possible. They are there to help you continue to provide
breastmilk to your baby. For help in finding a lactation consultant
near you, go to http://medela.findlocation.com.
Before pumping your milk, be sure to wash your hands well with
soap and water. Wash all the collection bottles and breastpump
parts that touch your breasts or the milk. Use hot, soapy water
or a dishwasher. Always allow bottles and pump parts to dry
thoroughly before storing.
