Expert guidance
Early pumping can trigger an oversupply or disrupt your newborn's natural feeding pattern. Pantai Hospitals advises against early pumping to protect milk production, though pumps can help manage severe engorgement. What matters most is waiting three to four weeks to establish direct breastfeeding before pumping, unless challenges arise.
