I didn't manage to breastfeed last time, and want to give myself every chance this time. So I got a breast pump in case it may help. I have to have a c section, so will be in hospital for a few days. My question is, does a breat pump even work for expressing colostrum? Is it worth me taking it in? I also bought nipple shields this time, as someone told me that without them they would not have managed either. Anyone had positive experience of using them? Thanks!
