Pumping & Supply

Estimates report that ~84% of birthing parents will at least initiate breastfeeding. However, it turns out that about 75% of nursing individuals have difficulty with breastfeeding alone and will turn to other means such as the pump. The road may not be smooth, but know that your baby is getting all they need to be healthy and happy, no matter the method.
