Ok my sister has been nursing since day one. She has been doing a wonderful job but will have to return to work soon. Because of her job as a police officer there is no way she can pump and she will be extremely uncomfortable w/ vests and all her gear on. She asked me the other day about pumping. She has a little breast milk on hand but not a lot. When she has pumped she doesn't seem to be getting anything. I think part of it is she's not pumping long enough. But anyway. She asked me about babies getting BM from other mothers. I explained to her about BM banks and stuff like that. She was like, Can you pump then for C just for a couple weeks after I go back to work to mix with formula? Well I really don't see a problem with this other then we are kind of in a temp office and the bathrooms are a good ways away. Then on the other hand I don't want to make excuses and want to help.

So I guess my question is this, would I have to do anything different if I pumped for C? My sister and I's diets are pretty much the same and she hasn't had a problem. I know breast is best but is it really safe when you aren't going through a BM bank. I mean I am very healthy and all but still. I guess I just worry is all. I figure if I'm going to be pumping for her I might as well pump for a couple of months if I'm going to go through the trouble. Then at least she will have the added immunities. dunno.gif

Any feed back ladies?
