About Me

As I began breast pumping for my last baby, Gabrielle, I searched the internet for information about pumping, breast milk supply, and many other issues related to feeding my baby girl healthy breast milk. Though I found much of the information that I was seeking, I had to search over several websites with differing information. I decided there needed to be a central location to help moms get the necessary information that they needed for breast pumping and feeding their baby. Over the past few years, I received numerous emails and questions from moms and have added to the list of frequently asked questions and articles. This website is an on-going passion that I have to help mothers and hope that we can help many mommies searching for that golden nugget to help them through this exciting, exhausting, and sometimes confusing time in their life.

Mastitis Infection Prevention

Mastitis may be prevented by breast-feeding, pumping, or manually (hand) expressing milk frequently to avoid engorgement. Improper positioning during breast-feeding, such as leaning over the baby, can lead to mastitis. Women are encouraged to use two to three different breast-feeding positions each day and to avoid tight or binding bras while breast-feeding or pumping.

While you and your brand new baby are getting to know each other—and especially if this is your first baby—your nipples may become sore and cracked unless you take special care to protect them from development of symptoms of mastitis.

GotBreastPump.com's on-line store sells Natural Nipple Butter is a luxurious, 100% natural herbal formula that effectively keeps nipples moist and protects them from potential detours in your baby’s learning curve. Unlike many commercially available preparations made for this purpose. The GBP store also carries, Nipple Cream which contains no lanolin. An ounce of prevention of mastitis symptoms is worth more than a pound of cure. Keep nipples moisturized frequently.
