Any STM who BFAR have recommendations for a FTM?

Hi! I’m a FTM, expecting 10/20. I had a breast reduction approx 2 years ago and in making my registry have tons of questions about pumps, breastfeeding etc. to help build up my supply after birth specifically for BFAR. 

Any STM (or beyond) who had reductions prior to conceiving have any advice for how to prep? Seems like reviews on pumps really vary. If I can add some helpful items to my registry (or my reading list) now I’d like to take advantage of the quiet time I have the next few months. Thanks!

  • I don’t have experience with this but the best advice I could give anyone wanting to BF is to connect with a lactation consultant and/or support group! I thought nursing would come easily to me…the first month was really, really hard. I ended up nursing my son until 2, but I don’t think I would have without really great support during that first month (and even beyond).
