Pumping Secrets was first handed to me by a lactation consultant and childbirth educator at a childbirth conference. She was raving about this CD. She was so excited I just nodded and promised that I would check into it.
Once I had a CD in my hot little hands, I too was raving. It is a brilliant idea! The CD contains an three tracks: one for breastfeeding. one for single pumping and one for double pumping, plus an instruction booklet.
Each track includes relaxing music as well as delightful baby sounds. It's the baby sounds that help you produce milk. Have you ever been in a store and heard a baby crying and suddenly you're letting down? This works on the same principle. The more you're able to stimulate this reflex, the more milk you produce either nursing or using a breast pump.
Pumping Secrets can be used for women who are breastfeeding, using an electric pump or a manual pump. The CDs can be used at home, at work or in the car. There is also a program in the works specifically for preemies.
I'd encourage anyone who is having supply issues to give this non-medicinal support a try. It is also great for increasing your supply when you're away from your baby such as during work.
