Pumping in the first 90 days
If you pump, express as often as the baby would eat. Aeroflow is a DME supplier, not the insurer. No coverage promise.
We are not pediatricians. This is not medical advice. Your pediatrician knows this baby.
Pumping is a removal plan, not a personality. If the goal is to keep making milk while you are apart — or to share bottles — the usual teaching is: express as often as the baby would eat. CDC still talks in frequent feeds (often 8–12 in 24 hours), not a 9-to-5 pump calendar we invent.
If you are not trying to protect a supply, you do not owe the internet a pump. Combo feeding.
What this page will say
- A clinician or IBCLC sets your volumes and timing if transfer or weight is a worry. We will not write a DIY ounce protocol. Enough milk.
- Night pumps exist if nights are when the baby would have eaten. They are miserable. Night shifts.
- Bottles of expressed milk still get paced feeding.
Aeroflow is not the insurer
Aeroflow and companies like it are DME suppliers. They can bill a plan and ship a pump. They are not your insurance company and they cannot invent your coverage. Many US plans cover a pump as a preventive service — through the insurer, with rules that change by plan. Call the number on the card if a website and your EOB disagree. We will not promise coverage. We will not rank pumps.
You do not need a full pump station on the registry before you know you will pump.
What we will not do
- A 0–6 week pump clock
- A “power pump” recipe as medical care
- Shame if you stop
