Here are some more information for Hand Pump:

I’ve been expressing breast milk for several weeks now, so I thought I would share some important tips that have helped me greatly.

1. Be sure to drink plenty of water. It’s hard to produce milk without it, as I’ve learned. I started out expressing four to six 3oz bottles a day, but then tapered off to two or three bottles. I realized I had not been drinking much water. Increasing my water intake helped to get my milk production back up. If you decide to increase your water intake, express 15 to 30 minutes later than you normally would for a while.

2. Expressing is usually better in the morning, or after a bath or shower. You get a good let down from it. (Let down is a basically a reflex that moves your milk from the milk ducts into your nipple where your baby or breast pump can suck milk out.)

3. If expressing more than once a day, try to keep to a routine. I express two to three times a day, at 8am, 2pm and 8pm. Although it’s often recommended, I don’t express through the night, since I always have to feed through the night because my partner won’t get up to feed by bottle.

4. About 5 minutes before you’re going to express, prepare two face cloths or flannels and a bowl of hot water. Don’t make it too hot! I prefer to double express using an Ameda Lactaline dual pump. I put the hot cloths on both of my breasts for five minutes before expressing. If the cloths cool too quickly, reheat them.

5. Before expressing, remove one cloth at a time and massage that breast, rubbing softly. Pay special attention to massaging any lumps or sore areas. If you’re expressing off one breast at time, put just one cloth on the breast your planning to use first. Once you feel you are ready to express, take the cloth off that breast, reheat it and place it on the other. If you’re planning on double expressing, place hot cloths on each of your breast, wait five minutes, then massage both at the same time.

6. If your baby is due a feed, latch your baby on each breast for a few suckles. It could improve the amount of milk that you can express afterward. It takes about an hour for your production to rebuild.

7. If you do not have a regular routine, you’ll express when you feel heavy and sore. You can increase milk production if you wait an extra ten minutes or so before beginning but it is not the best way. The best way to increase your milk production is to, express more regularly through the day and through the night.

8. To help with sore or cracked nipples, hand express a little of your breast milk and rub it onto your nipples and areola. I recommend that you do this after each time you express. It works better than any cream. If you have to use cream I recommend Goldshield Kamillosan. Chamomile ointment can also be used for nappy rash. But only use after expressing or breast feeding. I always wipe off any creams before expressing.

9. If you want to use a hand pump, I recommend the Tommee Tippee. Easy to use, clean and take apart. For an electric pump I recommend the Ameda Lactaline Dual Breast Pump. It is great for double pumping, which saves heaps of time when expressing. It’s more expensive, but you get your money’s worth. I tried a Medela dual action pump, and hated it. An hour after starting I still only had 30 mills. I can hand express that in 3 minutes.

10. Finally, it’s very important to store breast milk properly:

• Milk kept in bags specially designed for breast milk storage can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
• Milk kept in the freezer can be stored for up 6 months at temperature of -18 Celsius or -0.4 Fahrenheit.
• Milk stored at room temperature 26 Celsius or 78.8 Fahrenheit can be keep for up to 8 hours.
• Milk thawed and placed in the fridge can be stored for 24 hours if unopened at the temperature should be +2 to +5 Celsius or 35.6 to 41 Fahrenheit. If opened it can be stored for 12 hours at the same temperature.
• Milk stored in the fridge without being frozen or unopened can be stored for up to 72 hours. (Recommendation is 24 hours. I only keep it for 24 hours before I will pour it down the sink.) The temperature should between +2 to +5 Celsius or 35.6 to 41 Fahrenheit.
• Milk that has been drank but not finished should be poured out after an hour.

Using A Breast Pump – 10 Helpful Tips To Get You Started

Using a breast pump is alot like breast feeding, it is a learned skill. At the first, most mothers are only able to extract very little of the milk. As the mother’s knowledge increases and she proctices with the breast pump, the flow of milk increases.

Proper preparation for both mother and breast pump is important, for the process to be a positive experience. Before starting, it is highly recommended to mother should read the instructions of the breast pump thoroughly.

1) Follow instructions for sterilization of all the parts. Be sure to sterilize all the parts of the breast pump before each time you use it to limit bacteria consumption for your infant.

2) Remember, when you finish using the breast pump; each part needs to be washed using warm to hot soapy water then rinsing with hot water. Set equipment on a clean, dry towel. Only the parts that come into contact with the milk, needs washing. If the tubing needs washing, hang it so it will drain and dry properly.

3) However, if instructed by your doctor to sterilize the entire kit each day; that is what you should do.

4) If you have been set up with an electric breast pump; be sure to set the suction level as low as possible, for your comfort.

Getting started
—————

5. It is recommended to use a warm compress along with gently massaging the breast; sometimes stimulating the nipple helps in quickening the milk let down.

6. Relaxing is essencial to allow for the process of milk release. It has been a known practice for a mother to, on occasion, close her eyes and imagine she is nursing her baby. For optimal milk release, mother needs to be as relaxed as she possibly can.

7. Consider the first few times you use a breast pump to be practice opportunities. Practice on the use of the breast pump and to relax while extracting milk.

8. A hand pump will stimulate an infant; a few quick pumps will act as a stimulant to the breast. Once the milk starts to flow, longer more steady pumps will be more effective and not so tiring for mother.

9. Upon learning what technique works best for you; practicing for five minutes on each side, a few times a day will ensure equal extraction from each breast. Remember to always choose the time of day you have the least stress.

10. The most important aspects of successful pumping are learning to relax and making the breast pump your friend. Some steps to begin the relaxing process could include, but not limit you to…

-playing cards

-watching favorite television shows

-reading a relaxing book

-friendly conversations on the phone

Bare in mind, if you watch the collection bottle, the result will be more stressful than relaxing.

How deep will a hand pump pump well water?

I have a an unused well and would like to put in a hand pump. Just one of those cheap ones from Northern tool. I tried to measure the water depth and came up with about 30′ to the water line. It is a 30 inch diameter well.I don’t know the total depth. I just want to be able to get water when the power goes out (again).

I’m not sure what the lift is on those and it may vary, depending on the manufacturer. The supplier should be able to supply lift capabilities on their pumps. I remember some from when I was a kid and think the wells were around the 75 foot level but wouldn’t swear to that, since it’s been better than 60 years ago.
